State enterprises maintain disruption plans

By The Nation

Despite the absence of a full-scale public service disruption on Tuesday as expected, the 43 state enterprises' union chiefs insisted that the plans are in the pipeline and the actions would be launched when ready.

"We're serious. This is not a threat, but we must do it thorough¬ly, not to disturb the public," said Amnart Palamee, deputy secretarygeneral of the State Enterprises Worker's Relations Confederation.

He said the 43 state enterprises' unions are 50-percent ready to launch the action.

According to Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand union chief Sirichai Maingarm, "If PM Samak resigns and apologises, this would be over, but if he dissolves Parliament, it's not over as he would take care of the government for another three months," Sirichai said.

The strike by the labour union of the Port Authority of Thailand, which operates the busy Bangkok Port, gives exporters huge concern, as they fear that foreign trade partners could shift orders overseas and their export targets could be affected.
