Those with 1-year working period will receive bonus equivalent to 300 days of their pay, those with 6 months or more get 20 days and those with less than 6 months of work will receive Bt600 each.
About 400 subcontract workers of Thai Summit Auto Body Industry Co Ltd in the morning of Wednesday blocked Bangkna-Trat Road km 12 (on the way to Chon Buri), as they are negotiating for year-end bonuses.
A worker said that the company earlier resolved to pay 4-month bonus to 1,400 employees and refused to pay bonus to 600 subcontract workers. The workers raised four requests, asking for a similar bonus payment. They also asked the auto-parts company to put subcontract workers who have worked for more than a year as full-time employees. The company must also avoid layoffs during the New Year holidays or file charges against the protesting workers.
