omnilangur Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Enslaving Thai's to work for multi-national corporations in cheap sweatshops is the name of the game. I pity the Thai people who cannot speak English and the filipino's who come from a poorer country who will be able to come into Thailand and steal the work of an otherwise capable hardworking Thai!

Rancid Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Well I suppose the OP does sound a bit paranoid to the all-knowing serfs that grew up thinking the west was actually about free enterprise and that anyone can be president. The reality you can find and read for yourself if you could be bothered and if a shred of objective thought has survived your schooling and the main stream media. Thai like many Asian conglomerates survive on protectionism and governmnet monopolies duly paid for. As such ASEAN is not about empowering the poor but about cementing non-competive Oligarchies, many Chinese owned. In all actuality they plan to copy multinational techniques into this captured market, it won't mean cheaper goods or better quality, just cementing old corrupt monopolies with the usual overpriced crap without real competition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes, the Filippinos will replace the Thais at Tesco checkouts. Already checked how much a flight ticket to Philippines is ? I reckon the laundry policy there should be about same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please dont encourage the OP and why single out Asian conglomerates on protectionism and goverment monopolies and not empowering the poor...their western counterparts have been doing this since the industrial revolution started and before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeo Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 the AEC doesnt permit the free movement of labour the same way as the EU. It is supposed to be relaxed visas within the ASEAN area, as well free movement of skilled labour. Therefore your tesco worker (menial employee) is unlikely to be replaced right away.

Those menial employees right now at Tesco are getting double the salary of their counterparts in the Phillipines. If I were an outback Thai, I would start a revolution or civil war once my job was overtaken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
