The Department of Labour Protection and Welfare has launched a new ad-hoc centre to track job losses, hoping to serve as an intermediary to help employers and workers gain access to legal rights.

 

Covid-19 has affected businesses both in terms of increasing costs and unemployment.

 

According to the department, 1,425 establishments have laid off 22,634 workers from October 2019 to September 2020.

 

Labour Ministry director-general Apinya Sujarittanan said yesterday (September 23) that the ministry had helped employees receive their rights worth Bt377 million during the period.

 

For better and quicker help, the ministry has launched its Prevention and Problem Solving on Termination of Employment Operation Centre (PSTC) to specifically monitor the situation, provide advice to both employers and employees, and coordinate with government agencies and the private sector so employees can exercise their rights.

The UK is talking about unemployment going from about 1.5 million to 4.5 million soon. If Thailand is any less than an additional 3m million unemployed then its a cover up

The figure of 'how many who were working for cash every week' and now have no work to do is probably bigger than the unemployed figure. Part time maids/cleaners gardenerers etc. There is no safety net for them.
