Forced labour ‘widespread’
Workers in Thailand remain vulnerable to becoming victims of forced labour, labour rights activists said yesterday, as they urged authorities to pass the Prevention and Eradication of Forced Labour Bill to provide more inclusive protection for their workforce.
While migrant workers in fisheries and agricultural sectors are the most vulnerable to forced labour, freelance workers and employees of state enterprises also face work conditions without proper payment, rest periods or rights protection.
