Discussion on wage proposed for July
Play
Federation of Thai Industries chairman Supant Mongkolsuthree is geared for a landmark discussion with business leaders on the minimum wage next month.
He would propose the discussion at the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry, and Banking's meeting next month.
He noted that a single minimum wage should not be applied at all areas of the country but should be set by provincial pri-partite committees to take into particular conditions in each province like inflation and employers' capacity.
He noted that if the single minimum wage should stay, small and medium-sized enterprises would be hit the hardest.
He noted that this issue should not be politicised as it concerns workers and business operators, not politicians.
