SRT Union reveals demands

First of the issues is the SRT's plan to renew the land lease contract for Central Group, without calling for the general bidding under the Public/Private Joint Venture Act.

 Second, the SRT's board fails to prosecute a Buriram politician whose land title deeds are issued on top of the land of the SRT.

 Third, the board agreed to extend the construction contract of Airport Rail Link project, which means a loss of over Bt1 billion to the SRT.

 Third, the board extends the employment contract to SRT's chief financial officer, Arak Ratboriharn, despite his "incompetence".

 Fourth, the SRT could not raise its fares or receive any compensations for its low fares, which has caused the accumulated losses of Bt23 billion.

 Sixth, the board proposed amendments to the law governing the SRT on without consents from the labour union.

 Notably, the statement did not contain the signature of the labour union's chief. It simply showed the SRT's union seal on top and the rubber stamp.
