The government will listen to the various demands put forward today and will give importance to moving forward.
Labor Minister Mr. Bipat Ratsakithprakarn, who participated in the event, said that on October 1, the 400 baht wage change will be applied to all industries across the country. Government should take care of any business that cannot continue. In each province, please let us know what kind of help we can provide if you are unable to cope. SMEs in particular need to be helped to continue. The minimum wage will be adjusted equally in all 77 provinces including Patani, Yala, Narathiwat, last time it was only 2 baht, which will be the same rate as per the government policy. If you want to reach 600 baht in 2027, you need to get the same first step of 400 baht first. He and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Labor were eager to announce the new wages. But I see that the government has been managing the country for more than 6 months and today, April 13, there was an announcement that hotel workers in 10 provinces will be fined 400 baht.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labour, Mr. Piroj Sodikasthian said the proposed wage hike proposes a uniform rate of 400 baht for all occupations, but the wage committee meeting may have issues with some occupations.

By working for the employer
Mr. Saidawat gave an interview. There are reports that the minimum wage increase is 400 baht and the workers are going to be given a prize. But soon a minister denied the news. If there is a real wage increase, if it is 400 baht, will it be with asterisk or not? Because some measures have come out to raise the wages up to 400 baht which has disappointed our colleagues. Given that this increase is in a sector that is already known to have a salary of over 400 baht, this seems like a pay rise with no merit, so we really need clarity. It is also considered brave. Because the cost of living has been rising so rapidly for decades. But the wages were not increased accordingly. The problem is when workers are not paid enough because it affects the domestic economy. There is no purchasing power to spend within the country. Wage hikes can affect small and medium enterprises, which should be done in parallel. But overall, we have to agree that Thailand needs to raise wages. We hope the government will be more clear.
The Thai Labor Solidarity Federation (SLA) and the State Enterprise Labor Relations Federation (SLA) organized International Labor Day activities in respect of the Democracy Monument on the same day. Meet at Gate 5, Government House and follow the original 13 demands submitted years ago. But there is no progress in the government taking quick steps to improve the living standards of the working people. Be consistent with the current economic and social situation, including being consistent with international labor standards such as asking the government to change the uniform wage to 492 baht across the country. Control the prices of consumer goods, reduce oil and gas prices, adjust the new price plan. Increase in electricity prices should be reduced. Stop privatization of government agencies Social security reform
On the same day, Prime Minister Chetha Tavisin released a message via social media. On Labor Day, May 1, Thai workers must have a fair salary and a minimum wage. It is safe to work if you live a decent life. Government is trying to create economic growth with proper access to welfare system and good quality of life. Employment opportunities should be created along with skill development. Thai workers must pursue economic changes Government's vision We must rely on all our hardworking brothers and sisters to help drive the sweat of our labor brothers and sisters. It is the driving force of the country. I will never forget my promise to “raise wages and the minimum wage, cut spending, and put more money in my pocket” because I understand the struggles of everyone who has to fight for a better life.

Democratic Party spokesperson Mr. Ramesh Rattanasaweng said National Labor Day is an important day for working brothers and sisters. They are key people who work together to build the country. It is not only those who use their labor to create the things that have greatly developed in this country. But it is an important human resource for the continued development of the country and society. I understand that this is what our laboring brothers and sisters are expecting and this government will give priority to workers. But the reality is that currently, the government is not giving priority to labor policy as it is campaigning. It's a word of mouth that can't really be done. The government has failed this test, but the Democratic Party will go ahead and help solve the problem for entrepreneurs and workers. On this important day, fully through the mechanism of the House of Representatives, my best wishes to all the brothers and sisters and families of the workers. The party wants to encourage all the workers.
