Crackdown on illegal workers

Anti-human trafficing authorities in the Prachuap Khiri Khan province of Thailand have visited construction sites as part of their crackdown on illegal labour.

The inter-agency task force inspected two housing estates as well as a car showroom. All foreign workers were found to have foreign worker ID cards.

However, some workers were found to be underpaid according to a statement by the Public Relations Department of the Royal Thai Government. The Department of Labor Protection and Welfare will later order their employers to comply with the labour laws and submit a report on staff remuneration.

The inspection was aimed at preventing and suppressing the use of illegal labour in Prachuap Khiri Khan province and to ensure that employers have the correct understanding of the labour laws and uphold the fair treatment of its employees.
