Global labor union IndustriALL, which has 50 million members worldwide, has filed a complaint against Thailand at the International Labour Organization in Geneva.

“IndustriALL, which has seven affiliate trade unions in the country, accuses the Thai government of failing to protect its workforce of 39 million workers, nearly half of whom are employed in the informal sector.”
Company lawyers in Thailand Chaninat and Leeds have decades of experience helping businesses be the success they deserve to be.
This is not the first time Thailand has been accused of labor abuses. The Thai fishing industry in particular has received its fair share of criticism.
