Update on Former Bed & Bath Workers
After a long three-month struggle around 200 former Bed & Bath workers have received compensation from the Employee Support Fund. The Fund amended its regulations to increase its payment to laid off workers from 30 times of minimum wage (30x165 Baht) in the case of owed wages to 60 times minimum wage (60x165 Baht). The compensation owed to workers is 30 times minimum wage for workers employed with the company for less than six years, and 60 times minimum wage for those employed for over six years. Thus, each B&B worker was paid 14,800 baht, and the Social Development Department also gave them a welfare payment of 2,000 baht per person.
