Uzbekistan labour camp chief’s plan sparks anger among stranded Thais

By The Nation

 

 

Thai workers living in a camp in Uzbekistan were furious when they heard the camp chief was planning to bring in a new group of labourers without putting them through quarantine.

 

A clip showing several Thai workers shouting at the camp’s chief went viral after being posted on Facebook by one of the workers on Wednesday (July 15).

 

There are 102 Thai workers stranded in a camp in Qashqadaryo due to the Covid-19 outbreak and are calling on Thai agencies to bring them back.

 

The man who posted the video claimed the company that hired them had denied the Thai embassy’s help and was now bringing the virus into the camp, which may end up killing one of the workers.

Is this for real work jobs as a laborer in some kind of mining camp, or for workers who are working in a labor camp for inmates or detainees. Kind off confusing.

Probably a local camp near to a construction project.

Thailand imports Myanmar and Cambodian labor.

Uzbekistan imports Thai labor.

What about Thais working in Thaland ?

If the job was to look at cell phones all day then yes....

Uzbekistan?? Can't be easy to be Thai and not have the simplest clue about any other country except Thailand

I wonder if they researched about the country they were going to live and work in?

So while it is considered rude, socially unacceptable and a definite taboo for visitors to Thailand to raise their voices in anger,  it's OK for Thais abroad to rant and shout at their hosts when things go wrong?

If I was inclined to be sarcastic, which I am at this precise moment, I might think this is another example of double standards from the "me, me, me, self entitlement brigade...…."!
