Wage committee rejects PM’s call to readjust minimum wages

[snoop1130]

 

The tri-partite wage committee has rejected Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s request for them to reconsider their recent decision to increase the minimum wage by only Bt2-16 a day and the employers’ representative on the committee asked the government not to interfere, warning that such interference may impact the business sector. 

 

At the meeting on Wednesday, the wage committee agreed to reconfirm their December 8th decision to raise the minimum wage by Bt2-16 and announced that they will not review the decision.

 

Atthayut Leeyavanich, an employers’ representative on the committee, said that the decision is fair adding, however, that the committee will use a new formula in calculating minimum wages next year.

They are masters at rationalizing their insatiable greed as" what is good for the economy and society ".

It's always and everywhere the same story. It won't change until the working class wakes up .Education, education, education, real education, not the brainwashing that masquerades as education.
