At present, Ms. Suthasinee works as a coordinator for the Migrant
Workers Rights Network (MWRN). She works with migrant workers to
unionize factories, providing them with access to resources on law
and labor rights as well as human rights as well as training on relevant
issues through practical activities and the translation of documents
in the languages of different migrant workers. This allows workers to
identify and express their training needs themselves so that they have
the knowledge, understanding and ability to convey to negotiate with
their employers.
She and the MWRN also work with the Lopburi Province Labor
Protection and Welfare Office to discuss issues and solve problems. In
one case, a chicken farm in Lopburi Province was thought be in violation
of labour laws. Labour protection officers proceeded to inspect the
chicken farm. Based on evidence they collected, the Supreme Court
ordered the chicken farm to pay damages to 14 workers who had
previously not been paid their wages. They now receive minimum wage
and overtime payment in accordance with the law. This also led the
national labour protection office to conduct an examination of working
conditions on chicken farms throughout Thailand. The Department
of Labor Protection and Welfare has also adopted the Good Labor
Practices (GLP) guidelines for labor management in order to improve
employment and working conditions.
