Concern on e-waste law
The country’s major big business representative has asked the government for a 45-day delay in new regulations on recycling and disposal of electronics waste. The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) claims that haste on waste laws could cost up to (exactly) 753,357 workers their jobs. While the request is worded to appear benign and pro-labour, the FTI must be more forthcoming before it can convince the National Legislative Assembly it is acceptable.
