CP Foods vows to protect human rights of workers as US mounts pressure on Thailand

By The Nation

 

 

CPF employs about 12,000 foreign workers under a memorandum of understanding between the Thai government and neighbouring governments such as Cambodia and Myanmar, according to the company.

 

Charoen Pokphand Foods Pcl (CP Foods) has pledged to achieve sustainable development of labour rights across its entire group and supply chains.

 

The company said it conducts constant surveillance to ensure good practices.

 

Under its Human Rights Due Diligence Process, the company said it analyses and assesses risks and impacts on human rights across business activities. 

 

The announcement by CP Foods comes amid mounting pressure on the Thai government and corporates from the United States, which has threatened to cut Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) tax benefits worth $1.3 billion over labour rights issues.

But the government and companies keep telling us that this only amounts to an insignificant amount Thai exports to the US. So why all the hysteria in the reactions?

Will  not work.

 

Thai are too pig headed. Too male dominated. Too set in out dated pathetic believes. Thai act 1st world but do like stone age.

 

Thai human plus animal rights are appauling.

 

Yet another distinction for Thai  to celebrate.

Threatening-I am pretty sure it’s a done deal, and I would be shocked if the US didn’t push for lower tariffs and more balanced trade
