Govt seeks deal with Burma to import 200,000 workers

More than 200,000 Burmese workers could be hired to fill positions in Thailand under a direct state-to-state agreement if the measure is approved at a bilateral meeting next month in Burma, an adviser to the Thai Labour Ministry said Thursday.
If the plan, which was drawn up to address a labour shortage in the Kingdom, is approved, the workers would be flown directly from Burma to Bangkok, as large numbers of workers are available in Burma’s cities and are ready to be employed immediately, Anusorn Kraiwatnusorn said.
