Introduction

1. Background
Since the Office of the National Human Rights Commission was established in 2001, complaints
on labor right violation were also in the case and prompted the National Human Right Commission
(NHRC) to appoint a sub-committee to study and examine labor dispute between Gina Form Bra Co., Ltd.
and its workers in 2002. Later, complaint cases had been increasing significantly and a sub-committee for
‘study and examine on labor issues’ was appointed in order to promote, protect, and solve problems, as
well as to support NHRC execution on labor for better achievements and cover all tasks concerning
human rights on labor issues. Such power was given in accordance with NHRC Act, B.E. 2542 (1999),
Article 15 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) and Constitution of the Thai Kingdom, B.E. 2540 (1997).
