The Thai Airways International Plc (THAI) labour union is seeking clarification on whether the airline complied with its debt-restructuring plan by changing the terms of employment of its staff.
The union has targeted Chansin Treenuchagron, the airline s acting president, for his role in signing orders governing the company s restructuring and its new employment contracts.
The union has petitioned the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (DLPW) to decide if the orders were consistent with the debt-restructuring plan submitted to the Central Bankruptcy Court.
The labour union has argued that changes to employment contracts were unfair to employees because they stripped away some important entitlements and welfare benefits.
