Thousands to lose jobs this week[: Thailand]

Thousands of workers at electronic parts factories in Pathum Thani will be laid off next week, Labour Protection and Welfare Department director-general Amporn Nitisiri said yesterday.
Mrs Amporn said the electronic parts sector has been hit hard by the global economic recession.
Officials have been sent to the province to make sure any workers laid off get severance pay.
Mrs Amporn said parts manufacturers were struggling to stay afloat. Many have tried to adapt to the economic hardship by trying to find new markets in Laos and Cambodia, she said.
They were also showing more concern for workers than in the past, she said. Those who found themselves unable to remain in business had told their staff of the pending lay-offs and agreed to pay compensation as required by law.
