The factory, which has been identified by workers and rights groups as Phatthana Seafood Co Ltd in Thailand’s Songkhla province, allegedly scrapped a THB 20 (USD 0.64) daily food allowance after the provincial minimum wage raised from THB 176 to 246 on 1 April.
Strike representative Sok Sorng said on 8 April workers were also demanding a 20 baht daily hard-work bonus that the company had withdrawn.
