Thailand fast-tracks labour law reforms to meet ILO standards
The Labour Ministry is fast-tracking revisions to key legislation to elevate the country’s labour rights to international standards. Spokesperson Phumipat Mueanchan confirmed that Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn has prioritised updating the Labour Relations Act and the State Enterprise Labor Relations Act in alignment with International Labor Organisation (ILO) conventions. These legislative changes aim to enhance workers’ rights, particularly focusing on collective wage negotiations, as stated in ILO Conventions number 87 and 98. If these revisions are sanctioned, they would significantly bolster labour rights in Thailand and meet long-standing demands from the workforce for better conditions. Labour Minister Phiphat also reaffirmed the government’s initiative to raise the minimum daily wage to 400 baht. He acknowledged the potential challenges this increase might pose to businesses but assured that the government would work to mitigate any adverse effects on vulnerable groups, especially farmers. A province-specific economic analysis is underway to determine appropriate wage adjustments. The minister further addressed measures to assist employees impacted by company closures, such as the recent shutdown of Funai (Thailand) Co Ltd in Nakhon Ratchasima. Affected workers have been offered unemployment compensation of 7,500 baht per month for six months through the Social Security Office (SSO). Moreover, the Labour Ministry is devising strategies to assist workers transitioning from traditional automotive roles to those in the burgeoning electric vehicle sector. The Just Economy and Labor Institute (JELI) recently collaborated with the House Committee on Labour to address pressing issues facing platform and migrant workers. The forum highlighted the precarious situation of over one million platform workers, including ride-hailing and food delivery service riders, who currently lack legal recognition and are not protected under existing labour laws. SSO Deputy Secretary-General Surasit Srikaew pointed out that 52.3% of Thailand’s workforce operates within the informal sector, often without access to pensions or social security benefits. An important step towards reinforcing labour rights was marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) among labour groups. This MoU aims to promote cooperative efforts in achieving labour rights objectives, signalling a significant collaborative milestone in the pursuit of equitable working conditions, reported Bangkok Post.

BREAKING NEWS Biden lifts restrictions on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
I asked YOU for a military source although I suspected that you cannot find one! By "Military source" I do not mean the Pentagon but a reliable Military publication! All you have quoted is a statement made by Putin, not exactly a reliable source on anything! -

Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
Like most people, you are looking at it from the wrong angle Worldwide, most accidents are caused as a result of "human error" - but you need to understand what that actually is. Human error is for all practical purposes a constant - the same in any country. Road Safety is a public health issue and has to be dealt with by the authorities. To get a realistic viewpoint of road safety in Thailand you can't just rely on personal, anecdotal evidence as it is too full on cognitive errors. This is the problem with most opinions expressed on Thai rod safety - they are based on the premise "I drive so I must be an "expert"". then they decide they have a single solution - they pick out some issue they see as "wrong" and try to imply that is "they" did something about it everthing would be OK or improve - they are fai;ing to understand the full picture - as are the media and local authorities. I too have been driving for over 20 years in Thailand and have driven extensively in Europe Australia as well as America and even Morocco. The length of time I've been driving and the mileage covered would put be above the average Thai driver. This is only important if it is accompanied with a good knowledge of road safety and how it works. This is not guaranteed by just "driving" - you need to understand the statistics and the theory behind road safety and it is NOT just about driving - that is the first mistake commentators make. Also people talk about Thai driving in some kind of universal sweeping tones - this is of course racist but wildly inaccurate. Half the vehicles on Thai roads are 2-wheelers - if you are in a 4-wheeled vehicle you re statistically LESS likely to die than in a 4-wheeled vehicle in the States - yet so many people accuse Thai drivers of being "the worst". They are of course just making assumptions based on their own cognitive biases. Most Thai drivers are experienced at driving in Thailand, most foreigners aren’t and they are culturally unaware and inept as well. -
