By Thai PBS

 

 

The Ministry of Labour will not bow to the demand of the Thai Labour Solidarity Committee for a single minimum wage rate to be applicable nationwide and will propose to the Cabinet on Tuesday the tri-partite Wage Committee’s decision on January 17 to increase the wage rate by 5-22 baht a day.

 

Labour Minister Adul Saengsingkaeo on Monday met with Mr Chalee Loisoong, vice president of the Thai Labour Solidarity Committee to discuss the minimum wage issue which was already settled by the Wage Committee on January 17.

 

The minister said that the committee’s decision to adjust minimum wage rate from 5-22 baht a day depending on conditions in each respective province was the highest rise for the past three years.
