A strike by tens of thousands of Cambodian garment workers has entered its third day.

Unions are warning it could continue for weeks if employers ignore wage demands.

The strike follows a deal between the government and industry that set the minimum wage for garment and footwear staff at $US61 dollars a month.

Unions say the salary is not enough and want a base salary of $US93 dollars.
