who was at work at the Bestseller factory the day the fire broke out.<\/p><p>\u201cI felt like I couldn\u2019t move at all. \u00a0When I heard the alarm again, we ran out of the building for the third time, and then the workers began to faint one after another, at their machines and outside. \u00a0My legs were shaking, I couldn\u2019t move my feet.\u201d<\/p><p>Tomiko, aged 18, has not been working at the factory very long. \u00a0She is performing quality control at her station when she hears the alarm. \u00a0She begins to run.<\/p><p>\u201cThe last thing I remember is running for the exit. \u00a0I was certain I would die in the fire. \u00a0Then I collapsed,\u201d says Tomiko.<\/p><p>Tomiko and the approximately 40 other garment workers who faint wake up either shortly afterwards or at the hospital. \u00a0A third woman who was at the factory that day, 32-year-old Sohtia, wakes up at the clinic with an IV drip in her arm. \u00a0No one asks how she is, and no one tells her what has happened or what kind of treatment she has received.<\/p><p>\u201cI was so scared when I woke up that I had trouble breathing. \u00a0Even though I was receiving treatment, I kept thinking about what had happened, and my heart was filled with fear. I had no energy, I couldn\u2019t move my arms or legs. \u00a0I was completely exhausted,\u201d says Sohtia.<\/p><h4>Bestseller: We saw the faintings<\/h4><p>Bestseller tells Danwatch that they happened to be at the factory for an unannounced visit the same day that the fire and mass faintings took place.<\/p><p>\u201cThe fire broke out at 9:45 a.m., and all the workers in the entire factory were evacuated to an assembly point in front of the factory, as they had practiced during fire drills. \u00a0At 10:15 a.m., the fire was extinguished,\u201d wrote Bestseller in a statement to Danwatch.<\/p><p>According to the brand\u2019s communications director, Jesper Stubkier, workers told Bestseller during a follow-up visit several weeks later that approximately 40 had fainted and 12 were taken to the hospital.<\/p><p>\u201cWe have been working with this Chinese supplier for more than ten years, and have been in dialogue with them about the incident in Cambodia,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>Bestseller has been manufacturing clothing there since 2015, and at the brand\u2019s first visit to the factory, it noted \u201cconditions that would have to be remedied before a partnership could begin.\u201d<\/p><p>These included an inadequate number of fire extinguishers, no standpipes, improperly labelled emergency exits, and deficient electrical systems. \u00a0In addition, there was only one nurse on the premises, whereas Cambodian law requires a doctor and two nurses on site at a factory that has as many workers as this factory.<\/p><p>Bestseller did not note the issues that the workers have mentioned; heat, lack of or turned off cooling systems, lack of water, food or breaks for employees, or the short-term contracts that are renewed beyond two years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

the air is still, and only the flies swirl about.<\/p><p>She appears to be unaffected by the heat as she welcomes us in jeans, a short-sleeved pink blouse, and perfect makeup. \u00a0Like most of the garment workers, she is used to wearing several layers of clothing and long pants, even when working inside factories without air conditioning or even ordinary fans \u2013 either because they don\u2019t work, or because they are only turned on when visitors are present, the women report.<\/p><p>The clothing protects their arms and legs against contact with chemicals and fibres in the items they produce.<\/p><p>\u201cTemperatures inside the factories are quite high,\u201d says Norn. \u00a0Last year, as the union representative at the Asics factory, the 28-year-old asked the management to measure the temperatures at the factory.<\/p><p>That was after watching 139 of her colleagues fainted on the job.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aionuft elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aionuft\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ehvfiof\" data-id=\"ehvfiof\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ojvalvw elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ojvalvw\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ipuekxw\" data-id=\"ipuekxw\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-kvammrw\" data-id=\"kvammrw\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-lujgsok elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"lujgsok\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-worttyo\" data-id=\"worttyo\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfnwguz elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bfnwguz\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At 11:30 a.m., the temperature was between 32 and 34\u00baC at the factory;

which pays for treatment at clinics for injuries and illnesses, whether they were contracted on the job or not. Treatment of certain serious illnesses is not covered, however. The insurance is funded with equal contributions from workers and employers representing 1.3% of salary.<\/p><p>A study by Better Factories Cambodia and the ILO, in which 3302 workers were interviewed by staff from Angkor Research, showed that nearly half of all workers \u2013 46.5% \u2013 had recently felt dizzy, lightheaded, tired, or had cold hands or feet, all of which could be signs of anaemia, low blood sugar, poor circulation, or reactions to chemical cleaning agents.

lack of water, inadequate food, and exhaustion can lead to faintings, even mass faintings, he says.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is well known that illness is contagious. \u00a0We frequently see epidemics among employees at the same workplace with the same symptoms because a rumour of cancer or mould allergy spreads after just one person is diagnosed. \u00a0This could be the case with the faintings as well: you\u2019re exhausted, you see your neighbour pass out, and suddenly you\u2019re on your way down, too.\u201d<\/p><p>These \u201cslavery-like conditions\u201d would not be acceptable in neighbouring Vietnam, which experiences similar temperatures and humidity, but has rather different occupational safety regulations.<\/p><p>This is according to Garrett Brown, an expert in work environment with the California branch of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, who has inspected garment factories in Asia.<\/p><p>At factories in Vietnam, the indoor temperature may not exceed 32\u00baC. \u00a0If it does, the factory must install mechanisms to regulate ventilation and temperature, according to guidelines from Better Work Vietnam, a subsidiary of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).<\/p><p>Brown agrees with Dr Thomsen. \u00a0\u201cIf the body continues to lose fluids, there is a likelihood of serious symptoms of heat stroke: general discomfort, lack of coordination, muscle pain and cramps, fatigue, blurred vision, headache, dizziness and fainting,\u201d he says.<\/p><p>\u201cSo if these illnesses, which begin at one level and have a step-by-step progression based on workers\u2019 exposure and activity level, the result can be life-threatening heat stroke.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

overtime\u201d<\/h4><p>The seamstresses work Monday to Friday from 7:40 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on Saturdays they often work until 4:00 p.m. \u00a0There is a one-hour break from 11:00 to 12:00, when the women eat lunch. \u00a0The two hours from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. are overtime. \u00a0Overtime is not compulsory; \u201cyou can be excused,\u201d as several of the seamstresses put it.<\/p><p>But it is rare that they do.<\/p><p>\u201cOn payday, most of my salary disappears,\u201d says Sohtia quietly. \u00a0Even though her poverty is obvious, it is still shameful to say it aloud.<\/p><p>Sohtia earns a base salary of $175 per month, and earns extra for the 10 hours of overtime each week.<\/p><p>\u201cMy husband doesn\u2019t earn as much, so most of our expenses are my responsibility. \u00a0That\u2019s why I can\u2019t save any money at all. \u00a0I give $40 to a relative to take care of my child, and spend $2.50-5.00 on food for myself, my husband and my son per day,\u201d she says.<\/p><p>\u201cI still don\u2019t have enough money at the end of the month. \u00a0So I borrow from my co-workers to buy food. \u00a0And even though the food I can afford doesn\u2019t taste good, or doesn\u2019t have proper ingredients in it, we eat it in order to fill our stomachs.\u201d<\/p><p>The organisation Asia Floor Wage has calculated that in order to meet the most basic living expenses in Cambodia, a person must earn $430 per month. \u00a0The seamstresses we spoke with earn approximately $190-210 per month if they work 12 hours of overtime per week.<\/p><p>In other words, they make less than half of what it costs to live in Cambodia.<\/p><p>This is confirmed by Bent Gehrt, Field Director for Southeast Asia at the Worker Rights Consortium, who has been monitoring textile factories in Asia for more than thirteen years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

Overtime \u2013 which the seamstresses themselves say that they want to do, and in principle do voluntarily.<\/p><p>\u201cThey can\u2019t just say no to overtime because they have short-term contracts, typically lasting three months. \u00a0So simply the threat of losing their job means that no one can turn it down, even if they\u2019re tired,\u201d says Gehrt.<\/p><h4>The Diagnosis<\/h4><p>Heat. \u00a0Overtime. \u00a0Hunger, thirst and plain exhaustion. And suddenly, panic.<\/p><p>Perhaps the mass faintings are not so difficult to understand. \u00a0A phenomenon that seems most of all to be a healthy reaction to an unhealthy environment calls for a medical opinion.<\/p><p>At Cambodia\u2019s National Social Security Fund (NSSF), which pays for the workers\u2019 treatment at hospitals, we hear yet another assessment of why the mass faintings take place.\u00a0 <\/p><p>Director Cheav Bunrith says, \u201cIn the first place, we have the workers\u2019 health. \u00a0They don\u2019t know how to eat in an appropriately nutritious way.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cSome factories do not have sufficient oxygen levels, because there are too many machines and workers in the same room, so the workers do not get enough oxygen. \u00a0This can be compounded by chemicals that are sprayed on the clothes or used to repel insects,\u201d says Bunrith, noting that the Ministry of Labour advises factories in how to make improvements.<\/p><p>There is some indication that the cause of the faintings can be found in the minimal food the women eat in the course of the day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-xmpduhr elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"xmpduhr\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fqikzbr\" data-id=\"fqikzbr\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-cjgisbn elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cjgisbn\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-fhgarkq\" data-id=\"fhgarkq\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfrmtpb elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"cfrmtpb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">\"We found a relatively large number of women with anaemia, which can also be a predisposing factor in fainting.

Most importantly, if you are already weak and don\u2019t eat much, and your heart is not strong enough, then you are likely to be the first to faint,\u201d says Dr Sokheng.<\/p><p>A little while later, we drive to another hospital in the area that received seamstresses from the same factory in February.<\/p><p>Hospital director Dr Sao Chanta at Bati District Referral Health Care receives us warmly. \u00a0He is proud of his hospital, a part of the national health insurance programme that began last year to treat workers for free \u2013 and to send the bill to the factories via the government.<\/p><p>\u201cAs I see it, it is most important that the ventilation at the factories be improved to ensure sufficient air supply. \u00a0It is especially important to install fans, preferably air conditioning. \u00a0If the heat becomes too strong, there will be a lack of oxygen, and the workers will not get enough oxygen in their blood. That can contribute to the faintings,\u201d says Dr Chanta.<\/p><p>\u201cFinally, the workers must eat and drink enough, with clean drinking water. \u00a0If these things are implemented, the mass faintings will be radically reduced.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-vwlfocf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"vwlfocf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-mmoxsgl\" data-id=\"mmoxsgl\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-mimuffa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"mimuffa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-acxuyai\" data-id=\"acxuyai\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-wbjkclo elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"wbjkclo\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1881\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1881\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What is Better Factories Cambodia?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1881\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1881\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better Factories Cambodia was founded in 2001 as a collaboration between the US government, which offered a favourable trade deal with Cambodia regarding textiles \u2013 the US-Cambodia Bilateral Textile Trade Agreement \u2013 in exchange for upholding ILO conventions on workers\u2019 rights in the country. \u00a0The BFC monitors garment factories in Cambodia and offers guidance to businesses, but does not have legal authority.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-pwoeafk elementor-view-framed elementor-position-inline-start elementor-shape-circle elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"pwoeafk\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSky-high food prices\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe pay for Cambodian garment workers has in fact risen quite a bit recently, from $50 in 2007 to $153 in 2017.

the garment workers\u2019 nutrition is Professor Michael Krawinkel, who does research into malnutrition at the University of Giessen\u2019s Institute of Nutritional Sciences in Germany. \u00a0He recently issued <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2072-6643\/8\/11\/694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report <\/a>on malnutrition among Cambodian garment workers.<\/p><p>\u201cI was most surprised by the high incidence of malnutrition and anaemia among the workers, as well as by the amount of money they spend on food. \u00a0Even by Cambodian standards, it is a surprisingly small amount of money to spend on food purchases. \u00a0The women try to spend as little as possible on their own lives in Phnom Penh,\u201d says Professor Krawinkel.<\/p><p>\u201cThe low calorie intake could easily be a contributing factor to fainting, and therefore offers of food and drink could certainly help prevent the faintings. \u00a0But of course that costs money, and so the brands that manufacture here would have to accept the additional cost.\u201d<\/p><p>According to the seamstresses interviewed by Danwatch and The Guardian, only the factory that manufactures clothes for Nike offers its workers a free meal.<\/p><p>The organisation Better Factories Cambodia (BFC) was founded as a collaboration between the USA and Cambodia, in which the USA offered favourable trade agreements to Cambodia\u2019s garment industry if the country promised to uphold the ILO\u2019s core conventions on workers\u2019 rights. \u00a0BFC\u2019s job, therefore, is to visit factories and attempt to correct problems like the mass faintings.<\/p><p>Arianna Rossi of Better Factories Cambodia says that the organisation experimented several years ago with free lunches at selected factories.\u00a0 <\/p><p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/betterfactories.org\/?p=11071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> concluded that the workers who received snacks or meals showed \u201csignificant improvements\u201d and achieved markedly better food

By and large the main cause has been poor health and low blood sugar.\u201d<\/p><p><i>Don\u2019t you have any responsibility as an industry?<\/i><\/p><p>\u201cOf course it\u2019s the employer\u2019s responsibility to ensure decent working conditions, or at least make sure that they don\u2019t cause the workers to faint. \u00a0So a decent temperature level and proper ventilation. \u00a0But if the workers don\u2019t eat breakfast, and for one reason or another faint at 10:00 a.m., that\u2019s not the employer\u2019s fault.\u201d<\/p><p><i>A fair amount of research suggests that they are in poorer health and have lower BMI than other Cambodians. What do you say to that?<\/i><\/p><p>\u201cI don\u2019t know anything about that.\u201d<\/p><p><i>What about anaemia?<\/i><\/p><p>\u201cWell, anaemia, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s high compared to the rest of the population, but if you say you\u2019ve seen research\u2026\u201d<\/p><p><i>I\u2019m just wondering if there\u2019s a connection here.<\/i><\/p><p>\u201cWell, obviously there\u2019s a connection, they\u2019re skipping meals!\u201d<\/p><p><i>The workers say they are not allowed to eat snacks during the day, because it can damage the fabrics\u2026<\/i><\/p><p>\u201cNot alone damage the fabrics, they\u2019re supposed to be working!\u201d<\/p><p><i>Yes, but if the reason they\u2019re fainting is low blood sugar, perhaps an idea would be to allow them snacks and water?<\/i><\/p><p>\u201cA number of these are cases of mass-acting. \u00a0If they see a government official, they faint. \u00a0But as soon as the official isn\u2019t looking at them any more, they\u2019re talking on their mobile phones again, full of energy. \u00a0It\u2019s just an excuse for a day off for them.\u201d<\/p><p>Loo continues, unprompted.<\/p><p>\u201cPerhaps you would like us to comment on the unions\u2019 accusations that workers are not paid enough to eat properly or to live in proper houses, but this is total nonsense. \u00a0They all have smartphones. \u00a0If I choose to use public transport or walk to work and live in a big house, I can\u2019t claim that I don\u2019t earn enough to own a BMW. \u00a0It is a life choice, and it\u2019s the same for the workers. \u00a0They can\u2019t say they don\u2019t earn enough when they all have a smartphone. \u00a0You say that communication is a necessity? Fine. But you don\u2019t need a smartphone. \u00a0And some of them take out loans to buy motorcycles. \u00a0If the banks give them a loan, then their household income must be at a certain level. \u00a0If you don\u2019t eat properly, I\u2019m sure you can get a loan from a micro financing institution. \u00a0So I won\u2019t accept that assertion.
