PHUKET: An estimated 100 Myanmar and Thai workers arrived at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday (Aug 4) to report their employer for not paying them for three months, and to get some response as to whether they still had jobs.

 

The group filed their case with the Damrongdharma Center (Ombudsman’s office) and the Labor Protection Social Security Office.

 

Myanmar national Min Thu Khu, 27, explained that the workers’ predicament began back in May, when many of the workers filed for the income support they are entitled to under Section 33 of the Social Security Act.
