Thailand : Workers demand B421 minimum wage

Workers demand B421 minimum wage
5/04/2015

Labour unions in Rangsit and nearby areas have decided to seek a minimum wage of 421 baht per day on National Labour Day, May 1, according to Matichon Online.

Samai Phuphaenna, chairman of a group of labour unions in Rangsit and nearby areas, was quoted as saying the resolution was made at a seminar of his group and the Textile Industry Federation.

The topic of the seminar concerned the daily wage and whether it was enough for the cost of living.

Academics and workers in various fields agreed that the current 300 baht per day minimum wage is not enough to cover living costs.

Lae Dilokwilas, a labour expert and economic lecturer of Chulalongkorn University, said a proper minimum wage should be enough for a worker to feed himself and his family without having to work overtime.

But most workers had to work overtime in order to survive.

Mr Samai said it was agreed that the group would call for a minimum wage of 421 baht per day on National Labour Day on May 1.

300 baht per day is about what they are worth.
No ambition
Lazy to the extreme.

Big difference between a 'professional' and these lazy, no ambition people Thailand seems to produce...

[Baanguru]

As checked 300 Baht or $9.00 is still the minimum wage for Thai workers. Do you think guys minimum wage earners can expect an increase before the end of 2016? There are some talks about it but again it will still go through some process.

[sabang]

Don't worry, the dictatorship is trying hard to make it compete with Burmese and Cambodian levels. And the price of a blow job has gone way down.

Is that right?
Do tell us more, eh?

Folks in 9 provinces deserve twice what the peasants in 49 do. Message, reward your support base and keep the peasants poor.

The longer the 300 baht per day wage goes on, the greater the numbers of Kemoys & Yaa Baa aficionados out there...
