snoop1130 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 About 50 nurses and other medical personnel working at the Udon Thani provincial hospital have protested to the management over its alleged failure to pay them hazard allowances for having to work long hours during the COVID-19 pandemic since last year. The frontline medics staged a protest in the grounds of the hospital this morning (Tuesday) before moving to the provincial hall, to submit a petition to Governor Sayam Sirimongkol. The petition letter was received by the provincial health chief, Dr. Paramet Kingko. One of the protesting medics told the media that, during the first wave of the pandemic between March-October last year, they were promised, by the management, that each of them would receive hazard allowances, amounting to 1% of their monthly pay, but only 600 out of the 3,500 staff at the hospital have been paid the allowances to date.

Stargeezr Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Well this is just one other tiny example of the corruption of Thailand. The Thai elite of course are well fed, so I doubt that any of them no matter their status have any concern. Shame on the corrupt people involved and I hope that karma affects them all severely.
