Khit/ Kyaw (NSS) – Nov 23

The Myanmar Labour Attache Office provides assistance to Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand who were fired without receiving wages, according to the Myanmar Labour Attache Office. 

A total of 237 Myanmar migrant workers including 137 males and 100 females worked at APL 88 Co., Ltd construction site. Their employer reportedly fired them without paying salaries for two months. 

Then, the workers were forced to leave their place at the construction site. Therefore, they have been waiting to receive their remaining wages by building camps near the site. The workers contacted to the Myanmar Labour Attache Office for help since they have been encountering difficulties in food and shelter. 

The officers found that the workers did not receive wages for two months. 

As per the information, the case has been sent to the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (Thailand) and it is reported that the department has summoned the employer.
