Thailand urged to resume process to legalise migrant workers
Labour ministry officials from Thailand are due to resume talks on 8 January in Yangon with their Myanmar counterparts on the status of up to 3 million Myanmar migrant workers in the kingdom.
If successful, the negotiations could lead to an agreement that would legalise the workers’ presence in Thailand, and help protect them from the bullying and gouging they say they face as a result of their uncertain status.
