Bangkok, Hundreds of former Port Authority employees took the opportunity to celebrate Labor Day. Laying a wreath in mourning for the former executive Bullied and prosecuted for cheating on overtime wages worth 3,000 million baht At 10:00 a.m. today (May 1) at the Port Authority of Thailand, Khlong Toei, Bangkok, more than 100 former employees of the Port Authority of Thailand along with Mr. Kritsada Inthamara, nicknamed the anti-corruption lawyer. Take the opportunity of May Day or National Labor Day Came to lay a wreath Organize symbolic activities Responding to the inhumane actions of the former executive of the Port Authority of Thailand Those who harassed and petitioned the DSI to take special legal action against them for more than 10 years, without having had a chance to respond or be influenced by society and their relatives. Branded as a cheater Even though they did not do anything as the former executives accused them of. Until 2023, the DSI filed charges against former Port Authority employees. These are only 34 cases out of a total of more than 500 cases, which are still waiting for the Attorney General to postpone hearing orders 10 times for more than a year, until finally the Port Authority asked to end the case, but without mentioning the compensation that these people had to suffer. Extreme pain all the time proves their innocence in any way. Therefore, it is the source of mourning today. Lawyer Krisada said that after seeing all the pictures, we will point out to the whole country the brutality of the administrators. In August 2017, Acting Director of the Port Authority Came out in an interview saying that he would like to expedite the investigation committee into concluding the 3,000 million baht overtime pay fraud case to be completed by September 15, 2017. He would like to ask that during the investigation into the 3,000 million baht fraud case, the Port Authority paid diligence allowances and bonuses. Let us all whose names have been accused of cheating or not. Everyone answered that the y paid by receiving diligence allowances and bonuses every year. But when looking at the regulations regarding employee punishment, B.E. 2018, Section 20, paragraph three, states that during the disciplinary investigation, refrain from paying the money that the accused should have received according to their rights. namely diligence allowance and bonus When this happens, I would like to ask back to the Port Authority. that when the Port Authority They are investigating us for defrauding OT of 3,000 million baht. Why are they willing to pay us more diligence allowances and bonuses? Or is it because the results of the investigation came out on September 15, 2017 that we did not cheat? The Port Authority was able to pay us diligence allowances and bonuses without violating the above regulations. When looking back at the DSI's special case which the Port Authority created It appears that the Port Authority is the one who has accused Mr. Jongden and 34 people of a criminal case. The DSI has issued summonses to a ll 34 suspects to answer the charges and have their fingerprints printed on May 17, 2022. I asked the Port Authority if 34 people were fully accused, did the Port Authority still pay diligence allowances and bonuses to the 34 people? The answer was that they had paid everyone since 2018 to 2024. Therefore, I would like to summarize this year's National Labor Day activities that the Port Authority is a very bad employer organization. Because of bullying and accusing us of cheating each other in a world-wide scandal totaling 3,000 million baht. Moreover, they let the DSI hunt us down. As a result, we have criminal cases with us until today. Therefore, the Port Authority has died from our hearts. We no longer respect and love the Port Authority, so we would like to use our rights on National Labor Day this year to condemn the Port Authority's actions. By placing a wreath on the Port Authority name sign. and stood silently to mourn the passing of fellow workers who were treated in a special DSI case. By the port He is the one who plans to attack innocent people. But if the legal guru guarantees that the distribution of diligence allowances and bonuses to us during special cases is not illegal. It means that the special case must rot immediately. Because it contradicts the said regulations. And having to make a false report in a special case is therefore clearly wrong.
