    Raising minimum wage does nothing for the workers, quite opposite. Rising wages results in prices for everything going up.  Look what happened in Australia and Norway, minimum wage is good but pe

And so it should the inflation rate will rise yet again from the laughable rate of 1%.

I cannot see any increase in productivity resulting so prices must rise or people will lose their jobs or both. The alternative is people in work will say they getting 400bts to keep their jobs with the reality being somewhat different.

No free lunches chaps, produce more of off you go!

Not in Thailand, very little movement - the top have fought an 80 year war with democracy to make it just that way.

Life is not suffering, it includes suffering, but also many other much more pleasurable experiences.

We can of course work towards reducing the amount of suffering in the world by, for instance, creating open societies of equal opportunity and equal treatment - raising the minimum wage in the most unequal nation on the planet fits this bill, ill informed and depressing negativity does not.

No problem, we will pay whatever they want.

 

But it will be you that ends up paying for it as we raise your prices.

 

Understand now?

sorry dont understand.

how the prices will be raised?

bc you reflect that much deserved increase to consumers.

for f  s sake, just dont reflect it and earn a bit less.

greediness at its best!

just bc some rich f o people want earn some more money, they are fine to exploit workers with s h it  ty wages.

thailand came a long way in this last 30 years. say it industry, trade, service and more. all those factories and companies are maybe ten times bigger now.

but workers? their wages are not ten times higher.

so this means, they dont get their share for this economic development.

why?

bc of greedy people like you that dont care about workers but the profit only.
