Letter from Mr. So, the Managing Director of
Thai Durable, to the Ministry of Labour
(translation)
THAI DURABLE TEXTILE PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED
12 September 2000
To: Director of the Department of Labour Protection
and Welfare
Re: To notify about the Thai Durable Textile Public Company Dispute.
Mr. So Denduangrudee, the Managing Director of
Thai Durable Textile (Public Company), would like to inform you
about the problem in which the company dismissed 390 employees.
1) The company will pay 3 months salary to compensate 79 employees
who do not want to return to the factory and 111 dismissed employees
that the company refuses to take them back to the factory. The
company agrees to negotiate wit the rest of the [strike] employees
and allow another 200 dismissed employees to return to work with
the following conditions:
1.1 The employees who filed the lawsuits against the company have
to withdraw all the lawsuits.
1.2 The 15 employee committee members have to resign from the
company.
1.3 The company will not provide dormitory welfare to those 200
dismissed employees. The company will not provide dormitory welfare
to all the [strike] workers that used to stay in the dormitory
and are returning to work.
2) Regarding the demands of the union on the increasing of the
yearly wages and bonus, this will only be under the company consideration.
3) The union representatives have to make decision agreeing with
the first and second items offered by the company within 25 September
2000, otherwise, all of these offers in this letter are cancelled.
4) The payment of compensation and the date for the workers to
return to the factory will be announced after the union agrees
with all the proposal.
5) Both parties will drop the entire lawsuits regarding the demands,
disputes, and dismissal cases from 10 February 2000 onward - in
either labour court or criminal court, which have involved employers,
employees, management, advisors, and lawyer.
6) If the union agreed with this proposal, both parties will settle
the case at the labour court.
To show that the company is sincere, the company
has postponed the court hearing on the dismissal of 15 union committee
members on 20 September 2000 (case registered number 5442/43-5456/43).
The company has also postponed the hearing on the lawsuit [against
the union] claiming for compensation for damaging of the company
on 27 September 2000 (case registered number 4272/43)
Yours sincerely,
So Denduangrudee
Managing Director
