The Ministry of Labour has been asked by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to change its labor trade policy from war-torn nations like Israel to more quiet people.
Following the rocket attack by Hezbollah last week that left four Thai workers dead and one injured, council member Chonticha Jangrew made the statement.
She suggested that the department change its strategy to trade workers from Israel and firefight nations, condolences to the families of the dead and injured.
She urged the government to take advantage of the opportunity to diversify its labor export markets and promote safe, high-demand nations while providing workers with appropriate coaching.
The MP recommended that the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Labour Ministry speak in depth about condition assessments and the Thai government’s policies for reducing harm.
Ms. Chonticha said the committee did suggest ways to assist the Thai employees, including a back evacuation plan and financial aid, because some Thai employees have chosen to remain in the warzone for economic reasons.
However, in Uthai Thani, communities have raised concerns about the safety of their loved ones who are still working in Israel.
Sangwan Pokaew, 66, opened her home in Thap Than state’s tambon Taluk Du to allowed people who came to hear good news about her nephew, Nutthapong Junpod.
Ms Sangwan said Mr Nutthapong, 32, is working on a plantation in Israel.
He has communicated with the home, telling them he is protected and that he will go back to his country if the conflict worsens more, she said.
The Mental Health Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team, according to Dr. Kittisak Aksornwong, director of the Department of Mental Health, will be on hand to assist people who are concerned about the security of Israeli employees.
According to Dr. Kittisak, near support will be offered to the families of the deceased workers.
The staff on Sunday visited the home of Akkapon Wannasai, a Thai employee killed in the rocket harm, in Udon Thani.
The crew went to Akkapon’s home and offered them consultation.
