Today (1 May 2022) at the Ministry of Labor Mr. Suchart Chomklin, Minister of Labor statement of the demand for the minimum wage adjustment Equal to the country at the rate of 492 baht that the minimum wage adjustment is chaired by the Permanent Secretary to take into account both inflation, cost of living and the current wage rate which each area is different
In the event that it is proposed to fine 492 baht, the same for the whole country It’s a logical thinking that doesn’t understand. Because assuming renting a house in Lampang for 2,000 baht, the rent in Chonburi, Bangkok is another price. which is different, therefore, the cost of living in each area must be calculated
- Wage adjustments must balance employers and employees.

BecauseTherefore, the minimum wage, cost of living and inflation must be taken into consideration. Which the standards around the world use this formula all
The wages have already been adjusted. But no matter how much the adjustment is made, the employer must be able to stay and employees are enough to go todayThai workersSkilled and skilled, no one goes to work as a minimum wage construction worker. Most of them work in the office.
- Fear that employers can’t stay and close the business
“We are not reluctant to adjust according to the proposals of many people because we think thatcost of living and inflation increased from the Russo-Ukrainian war, whichLai people are afraid that we will side with the employer. which it is not Because if the employer does not close the business, where will the money come from to pay? Is the Social Security unemployment fund enough? Therefore, today must go if everyone can live. Please don’t be emotional to use the principle of truth” Mr. Suchart say
