Thai worker abandoned in Israel after hospital discharge - video
Once again, a story without background and without details. The man received medical care and was released from the hospital. We do not know why he was in hospital. Did he attack someone? Was he on drugs? Did he have a mental health crisis? Was he a danger to other people? Sometimes troublesome workers are terminated. Israel has laws in place that regulate foreign workers and they are enforced. The labour unions, NGOs and a representatives of the Thai government do monitor worker labour conditions. All workers are provided with a tip sheet that provides contact information in the event of a problem. There is a toll free hotline. There are tens of thousands of foreign workers, and they are not all in agriculture. They are employed in healthcare, skilled trades, the hospitality industry, particularly in Eliat, and in restaurants. (Thai cuisine is popular in Israel). There is one issue here with one agricultural worker. For reference sake, the Israeli Law 5751-199 sets out foreign worker rights. And yes, it is enforced. Israel cannot afford to lose its foreign workers. Contract of employment. 1C. (a) The employer has entered into a written employment contract with the foreign worker, in alanguage understood by the foreign worker, and had provided the foreign worker with a copy thereof. (b) Such terms of employment as have been agreed between the parties shall be specified in the contract subject to the provisions of any enactment, and also specifying all the following: (1) the identity of the employer and of the foreign worker; (2) job description; (3) the foreign worker's salary, the composition thereof, the manner of updating the same including its constituents parts and dates of payment; (4) a list of deductions from the salary; (5) payment made by the employer and the employee for the employee's social benefits' (6) the date of commencement of the employment and the period thereof; (7) the length of the foreign worker's normal working day or week including his weekly rest day; (8) conditions concerning aid absences, including leaves, festival days and sickness days; (9) the employer's obligations under sections 1D and 1E and under section 1A, in so far as they apply to him. (c) Nothing by virtue of the provisions of this section shall derogate from the provisions of a collective agreement or extension order within the meaning thereof in the Collective Agreements Law, 5757-1957, or from the provisions of any enactment, that apply to the foreign worker and to the employer. (d) The Minister may make supplementary regulations for the purpose of this section and to section 1F including prescribing those additional matters which must be written into the said employment contract, and as to those terms that must not be included in the employment contract, which if included, shall be null and void, and all in order to ensure fair conditions for the foreign worker having regard to the provisions of any law, a collective agreement or an extension order as provided in subsection (b). Medical insurance. 1D. (a) The employer shall arrange at his own expense, medical insurance, for the foreign worker covering the whole of the period of his employment with him, which shall include such basket of services as the Minister of Health shall prescribe for this purpose by order; and the Minister of Health, with the agreement of the Minister of Finance may prescribe that such medical insurance shall include health services in addition to those provided in the basket of services. (b) Where a basket of services has been prescribed by the Minister of Health under subsection (a), the employer's obligation to arrange such medical insurance for the foreign worker as prescribed by order, shall apply until the expiration of six months from the date of the publication of such order. (c) The employer may deduct from the foreign worker's salary an amount that he has expended or as actually undertaken to expend on insurance premiums as aforesaid, in an amount that shall not exceed the amount prescribed by the Minister, whether in general terms or according to categories. (d) The provisions of this section shall apply for as long as the Minister of Health has not otherwise prescribed special arrangements for foreign workers under section 56(a)(1)(d) of the National Health Law, 5754-1994. Suitable residential accommodation. 1E.

(b) The employer may deduct from the foreign worker's wages an amount by way of reimbursement of such expenses as he has incurred or has actually undertaken to incur, for residential accommodation as aforesaid, in an amount that shall not exceed the amount prescribed by the Minister, whether in general terms or for categories of foreign workers. (c)(1) The Minister, may exempt an employer from the obligation imposed upon him in subsection (a) to workers employed by him in such specific assignments as he shall determine, or whose wages exceed the amount that he has prescribed; an exemption under this subsection may be granted in regulations in general, or in relation to a particular foreign worker; (2) An employer who has not made suitable residential accommodation available for a foreign worker due to an exemption that he has received pursuant to paragraph (1) shall make a payment to the foreign worker for suitable residential accommodation of such amount as shall be prescribed; an amount prescribed pursuant to this subsection shall be linked to the index as the minister shall determine.

Thailand vs Panama. Decisions Decisions!
Part of it may be not liking foreigners in general, not just lack of curiosity. Is definately not just you. Odd isn't it? It's not something that can be overcome in my opinion, after living here many years. Bob and I were on the same page in this regard as well. Very different then Mexican guys who are easy to meet and interact with even with the language barrier. -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
Literally cornered a guy today on his trips to Phillippines. And he admitted it. All these years he's talking about foreigners defrauding the UK government, yet he's doing the same thing. Irony lost on these racist Brits. -
