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 next year’s Hezbollah rocket assault on Israel that left four Thai staff dead and one injured, Chonticha Jangrew, a council member, 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 Thai workers, including a back evacuation plan and financial help, because some Thai workers 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.
She said he has spoken with the home and that he is confident that he is protected and that he will step back in if the conflict develops further.

According to Dr. Kittisak, close assistance will be offered to the workers ‘ people.
