No as I said they keep the contract vague about details such as that. They do pay 1000 baht a day for 8 hrs on a Saturday but I don't do that in common with most non Asian staff. We get nobbled two days a year for Saturdays normally a seminar that's completely in Thai or some competition, I was actually looking for a clause that said we are hired to teach school students not teaching staff in the ministry of educations regulations.
That is blatantly incorrect, just look at Thailand there are many classes of work in Thailand that most Thai people are unwilling to perform, and therefore Cambodians and Burmese are required to perform these tasks.
It is the same in America, the vast majority of Americans are unwilling to do menial landscaping, pick fruit, work in slaughterhouses, wash dishes, and perform so many other jobs, the list goes on. We are talking about dozens and dozens of different types of jobs that Americans have no interest in or wouldn't do for under $25 an hour.
To argue differently is simply to ignore the facts on the ground, and the desperate need that the US has for immigrant labor. I'm not arguing in favor of illegal immigration, but I am arguing in favor of drastic immigration reform which allows more immigrant labor to work in the US legally. This is something that neither party seems to have an interest in discussing or solving.
I stand corrected. My comment was based on another member's erroneous claim made on this forum when the arrests took place last month. That member stated it was SCB branch on Pattaya Klang when it was actually a Bangkok Bank branch on Sukhumvit.
Either way, a can of worms has been opened.
