Yum to appeal verdict on sacked workers

The Nation

Yum Restaurant International (Thailand) will file a case with the Labour Court after the Labour Relations Committee resolved that it must rehire three employees it had sacked earlier.

In a statement, Yum, which runs the KFC and Pizza Hut franchise in Thailand, said it was also thinking about filing a lawsuit on the issue and hoped that an internationally acceptable verdict would be issued.

It also thanked the Labour Relations Committee for trying to resolve the issue of the dismissal of the employees, who were sacked for violating the company's regulations/code of conduct.

"It was a difficult decision to let go of our longtime, valuable staff - though they were compensated. However, it was unavoidable because the company honours law, regulations and code of conduct, and expects its staff to do the same in order to maintain international standards. Nevertheless, as a lawabiding organisation, the company will honour the committee's decision to take back the employees, until decisions come out otherwise," Yum said in a statement.

One dead, one seriously wounded in separate Pattani shootings

PATTANI, Oct 1 – A man was killed and a defence volunteer was severely injured in two roadside shootings in the violence-plagued southern province of Pattani, according to local authorities.

In Khok Pho district, Pisuth Boonnab was attacked on Saturday by two assailants armed with a shotgun on a motorcycle while he was riding alone on a motorcycle.

The 61-year-old lorry driver was shot in his head twice and died immediately at the scene, according to Pol Lt Wichan Khuntong of Khok Pho police station.

Police found two spent 9mm cartridge cases at the scene.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, defence volunteer Zupian Buenae, 26, was shot by a gunman armed with an AK assault rifle on Friday night while riding to work from home in Yarang district Friday night. The victim was suffered serious injuries.

Police believed that the violence was carried out by a group of presumed insurgents, aiming to stir disturbances in the region.

Since 2004, the insurgency has intensified on a near daily basis in Thailand's restive southern border provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani, following a string of bomb and gun attacks. So far, the violence has claimed more than 4,300 lives of residents and authorities. (MCOT online news)
