Bangkok, May 1 - "Srettha" posted a clip on Labor Day. Emphasize that everyone must have a better quality of life under the Pheu Thai government. Ready to confirm every policy as a cog and work together to solve the entire economic problem. from the cost of living to the inequality structure aiming to elevate the country from the foundation
On May 1, 2023, Mr. Srettha Thavisin, a candidate for Prime Minister and the chairman of the advisor to the head of the Pheu Thai family Post a video clip via https://fb.watch/keStxc-m_v/?mibextid=DDXixF by Mr. Srettha, specifying a message with emphasis on Labor Day on May 1, 2023, stating the message that “Labor is an important base for driving and developing the country. Labor brothers must be developed in terms of potential and welfare. The quality of life of everyone must be improved under the leadership of the Pheu Thai Party.”
Later, Mr. Srettha posted a message on Facebook. and private twitter again Emphasizing the policy on wage adjustments of 600 baht and salaries of bachelor degree graduates of 25,000 baht, he said that solving the cost of living and inequality must be integrated. He believes that in the past 8 years, many Thai people have had stomach problems and livelihoods. What shows the picture is that in the past 8 years, we saw a wage increase of only 54 baht from 300 baht to 354 baht. has been raised only 1 time, from 14,000 to 15, 000 baht in 2015, but he would like to point out that the problem of suffering of the Thai people is not just one dimension, but two issues that are inseparably overlapping. It will be a matter of cost of living. which if looking at the inflation rate and the minimum wage alone It can be seen that between '14 and '22, inflation increased by 8%, but wages increased by 16% during the same period. It might look okay. But if we look deeper, we will see that it is necessary to live with dignity. That turned out to be much more expensive. Take pork for example. four years ago The price of pork is 30% more expensive, the price of chicken is 20% more expensive, or the price of some vegetables is up to 70% more expensive. It is also attached to the burden of household debt that is up to 47%, partly due to the poison of COVID 19 that causes many people lost their jobs It can be seen that in real life The well-being of the Thai people deteriorated tragically. but was ignored by the state But if we look deeper, we will see that it is necessary to live with dignity.

Mr. Srettha said that another issue that overlaps the cost of living is the problem of inequality. that adds even more Which, if you want to show the picture, is to compare the growth of more than 31% of Real GDP over the past 7 years, while wages have grown by 18% and bachelor degree salaries that have only increased one time, only 7% and never adjusted again. at all during that time At the same time, the rich are getting richer by leaps and bounds. especially the capitalist group which benefit from the slow growing labor cost Resulting in economic revitalization and growth in the form of a k-shape as he has always said. (The rich get richer away from economically sensitive groups and so on), so it is the origin of various policies. that we have presented If the Pheu Thai Party has formed a government Whether it's a matter of raising the minimum wage to 400 baht immediately by 2024 and within 4 years, we set a minimum wage target of 600 baht, including the minimum salary of bachelor's degrees at 25, 000 baht, which from our analysis can be done because it is not adjusted immediately, but gradually adjusted according to the growth of the economy. We expect GDP to grow at an average of 5% per year. We will focus on education for our citizens to develop knowledge to meet the needs of the labor market in some sectors such as Industry or software production which today pay wages higher than 600 baht per day and 25, 000 baht per month already If we have the opportunity to implement the minimum wage policy that we set There will be many benefits We will be a country based on Capitalism has its heart: growing the economy. But it's growing up the whole system. not taking advantage of anyone narrowing the gap of inequality We will attract more people to the education system and complete their degrees. to reduce social problems And also create quality employees for the private sector as well. In addition, the implementation of such policies will help raise the level of government sector, which is an important element in driving the country. He would like to give an example of Singapore as a case study. The civil service is a profession that has no less salaries than the private sector. Therefore, we must look at appropriate compensation for the Thai government. and attract new generations with high potential to work Because in the past, he believed that there were many capable people who wanted to work in the government. Fully serve the public sector But stuck where the compensation is not enough for living The civil service is a profession that has no less salaries than the private sector.

“I would like to invite everyone to look at this policy in connection with other policies. of the Pheu Thai Party Especially when done in conjunction with other economic policies, such as the policy of learning, earning. Lifelong learning (Learn to Earn) 10,000 baht digital wallet policy, increasing tourists Establishment of a new business area We will see that every policy is an important tooth that works together. and will help strengthen the country better potential And help raise the country from the foundation, "said Mr. Srettha.-Thai News Agency
