The cabinet has approved the extension of employment contracts that allow more than 200,000 migrant workers to keep their jobs at least until the new government takes office, according to outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.
The cabinet has given the green light to extend the employment of workers from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia.
The cabinet earlier rejected the Labour Ministry’s request for the extension, fearing it would create a burden of responsibility for the new government, which should be left to decide on the matter, Mr Wissanu said.
