Vietnam's wage hikes irk foreign manufacturers

Minimum wages for workers in Vietnam are likely to rise again, including for these employees at a sewing factory in Nam Dinh Province.

HANOI -- Vietnam's National Wage Council has proposed an average 15% on-year increase in region-based minimum wages for 2015. This has stirred complaints from foreign companies with operations in the country.

     These new minimum wages will begin on Jan. 1, if the council's proposal is approved by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
