NCPO determines to resolve labour problems
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, June 28 -- The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) is determined to solve lingering labour problems in Thailand and will explain to the US government about the issue, reporting it would lay out guidelines to migrant workers and enforce the law, according to a NCPO spokesman.

Deputy NCPO spokesman Col Winthai Suvaree said NCPO, which seized power in Thailand in its May 22 bloodless coup, attaches great importance to the labour problem in Thailand as it has prepared a clear policy in which a committee to deal with the problem has been established.

Work on two immediate tasks have already begun, he said.

The tasks include laying out guidelines for migrant workers which to suit the current situation and on enforcing the law against wrongdoers who are involved in human trafficking, child labour and slavery, Col Winthai said.

The problems have continued for a long time and they have eroded foreign confidence in the country and could damage Thailand’s economy, he said, adding that the situation should “improve in the eyes of foreigners” as NCPO would solve the issue systematically, Col. Winthai said.

His remarks were made after the United States on Friday issued its 2014 Trafficking in Persons report, downgrading Thailand to “Tier 3”, the lowest rating, even below the Tier 2 warning list.

The United States has accused the kingdom of allowing human trafficking, slavery and gross human rights abuses.

Col Winthai said the downgrade would “not stay permanently”. It would depend on efforts by the accused governments to improve the situation in their countries and increase standards on eradicating human trafficking.

Asked whether Thailand needs to explain to the US government the real situation in this country, Col Winthai said “explanation will have to be made along with changes in positive way.” (MCOT online news)

And who is the richest man in Thailand? C.P. Foods!

Actually not. Dhanin Chearavanont is now second.Chirativat overtook him last month.

[londonthai]

The title should be "determind". Misspelling.

As to the long term problems of labour and human rights abuse, army should be well aware of them, because at the most powerful player in thai politics, they were causing them by undermining political process by staging systezmatically military coups, deposing elected governments and dissolving the parliament. I am not sure, how they can help all the problems

[Bakseeda]

And who is the richest man in Thailand? C.P. Foods!

No he is not .... The Chirathivat family come second after the king... They are in real estate.

[Thailand]

Physician heal thyself!

LABOUR
Junta sets out to solve illegal labour problems

BANGKOK: -- The junta's National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has a clear policy on labour and illegal migrant workers in Thailand and is determined to solve the problems associated with these, its deputy spokesman Winthai Suvari said on Monday.

The committee formed to draft guidelines opn illegal workers has already started work and will look into the legislation to ensure offenders are punished in line with the law.

The junta, which seized power in a bloodless coup last month, has attached great importance to the labour problem in Thailand.

The committee has been tasked with preparing guidelines for migrant workers to meet the demands of the current situation and enforcing the law against wrongdoers who are involved in human trafficking, child labour and slavery, Winthai said.

The problems, which have continued for a long time, have eroded foreign confidence in the country and damaged Thailand's economy, he said, adding that the situation should "improve in the eyes of foreigners" as NCPO worked to solve the issue systematically, he said.

He was speaking after the US issued its 2014 Trafficking in Persons report, downgrading Thailand to Tier 3, which is reserved for those countries with the worst trafficking record.

The United States has accused the kingdom of allowing human trafficking, slavery and gross human rights abuses.

Col Winthai said the downgrade would "not stay permanently". It would depend on efforts by the accused governments to improve the situation in their countries and increase standards on eradicating human trafficking.

Asked whether Thailand needs to explain to the US government the real situation in this country, Col Winthai said "explanation will have to be made along with changes in positive way."

Determind - also a misspelling? Determined?

But I do agree with the second paragraph

Encourage the migrant women not to use condom.

This will cause pregnancy, and produce more babies.

In 10 years time, Thailand will have more workers, hence no longer shortage of workers.

Then it's a good thing that they have the expertise of former Labor Minister Dr. Police Captain Chalerm at their disposal...
