Labour Ministry readying more help
The Labour Ministry will next week ask the cabinet to approve a fresh proposal on financial aid for another group of 800,000 workers affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Labour Minister MR Chatu Mongol Sonakul.
He said these workers are not covered by the relief measures so far approved by the cabinet which are applicable only to those who lost their jobs or were suspended due to the government’s order to shut down businesses to contain the outbreak.
