The chief of Uttaradit provincial labour protection and welfare office
has urged employees to keep improving their vocational and language
skills in preparation for ASEAN Economic Community.
Speaking on
the occasion of May Day, chief of Uttaradit provincial labor protection
and welfare office Suchart Panngern has warned workers to arm themselves
with vocational and language abilities in order to cope with changes to
be brought about by the emergence of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).
According
to Suchart, the number of factories and companies in the province is
relatively low. Employees of all sectors number around 12,000. Most
employers are found to take care of their workers in compliance with
laws, treating their employees fairly well. Nevertheless, he cautioned
workers not to be too complacent to adjust themselves to upcoming
challenges.
The May Day event in Uttaradit province was joined
by more than 500 workers. The activities include a merit-making rite, a
parade and friendship sports competitions among workers from different
organisations.-VNA
