Jag har svart att jubla over dessa manniskors ode!
Jag ar dock tacksam att juntan tagit tag i problemet, dock tycker jag att man pa sedvanligt Thaimaner ser sin egen perfektion och andra som inte vardiga medmanniskor, den Thailandska nationalismen tenderar ibland att ga over styr, men som sagt, bra att det gors nagot, men jag hade hellre sett juntan sla till mot fabrikschfer e.t.c. och tvinga dem att betala minilonen for resp. arbete samt hjalpa svartjobbarna att bli "vita". Det vi nu ser ar tyvarr en massa familjetragedier.
Jag kan supplera med lite text från en ansökan jag bistod en Burmesisk facklig organisation att skriva för ett tag sedan...
Migrant workers make huge contributions to Thailand's economy, but receive little protection from abuse and exploitation.
Those from Burma suffer horribly at the hands of corrupt civil servants and police, unscrupulous employers,
who all realize they can abuse migrants with little fear of consequences.
In addition, Burmese migrants often work in occupations that are undesirable to Thai citizens
because they are considered "dangerous, dirty, and degrading”.
Thai labor laws stipulate that foreign workers must be compensated with wages and employee benefits comparable to Thai nationals.
Unfortunately, however, foreign workers, especially undocumented migrants, do not have the same bargaining power as Thai nationals,
and therefore, are more susceptible to exploitation.
Employers use migrants' illegal immigration status and threaten deportation in order to get them to work in unconscionable conditions
such as having 28-hour shifts in crowded factories with poor ventilation and safety measures.
Thus, Thai employers often pay Burmese migrants 60-70% of the wages paid to Thai citizens.
Employers have also been known to pay migrants less than the proscribed Thai minimum wage,
force them to work mandatory overtime, or withhold wages.
Burmese migrant workers very rarely turn to the legal system to claim their rights and compensation.
This is largely due to their distrust of the legal system, fear of government officials, lack of resources and insufficient language skills.
Jag tycker det är helt i skogen att skuldbelägga migrantarbetarna som ofta lockas till Thailand av agenter eller av arbetsgivarna direkt.
Fabriksägarna, korrupta poliser ja alla i kedjan medverar till miljoner migrantarbetares olycka.
De samma arbetare många här kan tacka sina billiga drinkar och hotellrum för.
