CAPO warns state enterprises of repercussions ahead of planned strike



BANGKOK, 19 May 2014 (NNT) – The Center for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) has warned state enterprise workers of breaking the law, if they plan to participate in a labor strike in support of the People’s Democratic Committee (PDRC).

The CAPO has issued another official statement urging cooperation from the State Enterprise Workers' Relations Confederation (SERC) regarding a planned 5-day work strike on May 22nd.

SERC secretary-general Komsan Thongsiri released a statement over the weekend that all state enterprises would rebel against the Thaksin Regime and other officials in the current administration.

The agency said that as protest leader Suthep Thuangsuban and other PDRC core leaders have been charged with insurrection and other crimes, the workers’ participation in their activities will be regarded as illegal.

The CAPO added in the statement that as state enterprises are key drivers of economic growth, any work stoppage could seriously harm the state of the country’s economy, which has already been worsened by the ongoing political turmoil.
The CAPO has also invited executives of all state enterprises to attend a meeting with officials this Wednesday to discuss the political situation.

That's quite a mild treat by CAPO's usual standard. Maybe they are seeing the error of their ways or maybe Charlem was too drunk to write the press release himself.

[thesetat2013]

CAPO has this crazy notion that just because people follow the idea that Suthep represents does not mean they follow Suthep. From all I gathered the people only listen to him because they are tired of the Thak regimemt running the show and dont know any way to get them out. They dont agree with all Suthep says and does. So how can CAPO charge anyone for acting on a suggestion and how can CAPO prove they are doing it on Sutheps orders. A general strike for labor issues or sick for a few days would accomplish a lot.

Keep digging CAPO/PT ... there's a few more bodies and organizations to go that you haven't threatened or intimidated yet. But not many.

[goldmonky]

But all Thais have the democratic right to strike .. Don't they?

[Thaddeus]

Get back in your shackles slaves, you are not allowed a voice.

[BeforeTigers]

Unions striking against democracy.
This and a man eating his own head and I will have seen everything. heh

" The agency said that as protest leader Suthep Thuangsuban and other PDRC core leaders have been charged with insurrection and other crimes, the workers’ participation in their activities will be regarded as illegal. "

Since when does having charges slapped on you equate with illegality ? Isn't there a step missing between issuing a charge and being convicted of it - hence being found guilty of it ? Isn't that something called a court ? Is CAPO of the opinion that they can come up with simply any wild charge, issue it, and regard as it as automatically illegal ? ( Yes ).

" The CAPO has also invited executives of all state enterprises to attend a meeting with officials this Wednesday to discuss the political situation. "

Here we go again. These " meetings " with Chalerm scaring and shaming everyone who attends. This is a free society. There are unions, There are workers. They can strike or not strike as they please. Unless a court of law actually deems it to be illegal, there is nothing illegal in striking. It is a right. Just earlier, the " administration " released a confident dispatch that there would be no strike. Just two hours later, they are threatening companies, unions, and workers. The right to strike has mysteriously disappeared under Pheu Thai. Labour strikes are out. All forms of civil disobedience are out. Protests are out. Disagreement with Pheu Thai is now called insurrection.

And concerning the photo of CAPO - what's with the guy staring into space ?

CAPO reminds me of Baghdad Bob.

Just farted and realized he has followed through and there is something running down his leg, which he hopes is sweat ?

1 question for the red skirt posters here on Thaivision.

Who are the Fascists in this country???

Looks and talks were deceiving, but not anymore.

The CAPO should change their name to Gestapo and Chalerm could be Heinrich Himmler

Time for me to go home,the writing is on the wall.1933 no they won't do that.Is there a Quantum Leap backwards.

It's quite simple.

Let them strike and piss off even more people. They will all know it's down to Suthep yet again!

No one else is to blame but Suthep ???

Just because PT say it is so makes it true? This nest of police state, anti democratic, thought control noddies becomes more deluded by the day.

How very simplistic a statement and you managed to fit an expletive and some anger into it. Congratulations.

If the railways, electricity generation, waterworks, expressways etc. Stop working then it will be a major issue for Thailand. Tourism, industry, agriculture, getting food on your table, water in your cup and shower etc. Are all distinct possibilities.

Whether the caretaker government could resist for long is something I doubt.

Two can play this game. If the fascist PDRC manages to force out the elected government and install a dictator, I'd be surprised if the UDD don't have a few civil disobedience tricks in their kitbags - and they'd have the support of the wider world, much of which also believes in democracy.

Sort of funny how red shirt fanatics spew Supthep has only the support of only a few old ladies in wheel chairs, but yet he has caused the entire country to come to a standstill.

Impossible your government figures show no unemployment, or near to that.

This should apply to the government then ??????

Or perhaps, heavens forbid you got it wrong and that these people do not consider bought votes, nepotism on a scale never seen in the last 100 years, corruption and robbing of the national treasury as 'democracy' !

Even the reds don't like Thaksin, he just gives them money and they are too poor and ill-educated to look at the alternatives. His henchmen get most money and they use power as 'head of villiage' to browbeat the rest.

This country , this once lovely country is on the verge of being totally trashed by one families obsession with power. Shinclan make the Borgias look like the Waltons. So who do you think just might be wrong with their assessment of the situation, you that thinks these people are striking against democracy, or the people who are choosing to strike (and in so doing giving up their salaries) for democracy? I know where I put my money.

Thaksin and Suthep are both a nightmare, but of the two Thaksin and his clan are in a different league altogether. Thaksin once again being in the premier league so to speak.

My god, this is a bleeding good one. Who writes your posts for you ???

I like your posts,sorry I am lost on this one.Man of few words,but wisdom.

You're on a roll;

Today you want to sack all state enterprise workers for exercising their democratic right to protest. So that's one democratic principle down the drain.

You wanted to sack all civil servants yesterday because they have a different belief than the PTP. That is another democratic principle down the drain.

The other day you wanted to sack all the NACC and CC judges because you did not agree with their rulings. That is another democratic principle down the drain.

So you will disrespect 14 democratic principles to push for 1 (elections)

Suthep is disrespecting 1 to push for 14.

That makes him more democratic than you Moonao unless of course you think elections are the only principle of democracy?

The below have disagreed with the PTP as well. Can we line them all up and sack them as well and replace them with PTP friendly people that march in lockstep to the beat of the UDD war drum?

The Thai beauty pageant judges, the World bank, Moody's, UNHCR, Human Rights Watch, the Environmentalists, the corn farmer, rubber farmers, rice farmers, medical association, rural teachers, academics, Supa, global economists, IMF, private banks, GSB, the EC, AoT, the courts, military, bangkok middle class, business owner, state enterprise staff, Buddhist monks, civil servants, labor unions, Green Politics group, Thai Constitution Protection Association, The Thai press, NIDA poll, Bangkok Poll.

Would that be the same decent hard working people whose farming lives have been trashed by a Government who has stolen the very grain from under their nose. The people on the poverty line who should have been paid for their hard toil in September and here we are 8 months later and they are still not paid, and have been told everyone should be paid 'by the end of the year' !!

And why is that? Suthep? - No, the yellows - no, the inconvenient truth is that the rice pledging coffers are completely empty because the senior members of Government have stolen some 600 Billion + baht. Nothing to do with striking Government workers or occupied Government offices, it is because the nest is overwhelmed with pigs and thieves. If you and your 'peer group' are unable to see that plain fact then there really is no hope for you.

So yes there would be plenty of hard working folks (the ones forced into abject poverty by Thaksin's regime) to take the place of the Government workers. Whether they could add 2+2 is a different matter, mind you there seem to be plenty of Government workers in the same boat, how else could they get 200 Billion + 600 Billion = 350 Billion?

Good! Then strike strike strike! The farmers should strike... bus drivers should strike... teachers should strike...students should strike... bartenders should strike... bar girls should strike... all factory workers should strike... the police should strike, but what difference would that make?
