This is not a surprising event. Those companies are contractors to those major companies in the US. Nike doesn't care how much they pay the workers. They only know how much their contracts say. On the other hand, Cambodian factory workers don't understand about working under contracts between labor organization and the company owners. Lately, we have seen something that many countries don't see. Factory workers started to demand for more money by walking out of the job. Now, companies are loosing money and perhaps loosing contracts to those major companies in the US. Major companies in the US only care about requirements by US laws in regarding to trade. One of the thing that they have to meet as an example is the prohibition of child labor. Contracts are not one of them. As we have seen, factory workers demand companies to pay them more money and many other things. Whey they did get them, they leave the jobs and destroy the company profits. Then the companies go bankrupt. Who are going to loose? Those companies are not going to Cambodia to loose, nor they are there to help Cambodian people. They are there for one reason, which is to make profit. What that profit vanished, they are going to leave. That's why we have seen many factories in Cambodia closing their doors in the last five years.
