Mr. Anusorn Kraiwatnussorn, Vice Minister of Labour, said
after receiving an open letter from Mr. Chadej Chaowilia, Director of
Women and Men Progressive Movement Foundation along with a group of
employers and labour unions, calling for Ministry of Labour to press
ahead with alcohol-free workplaces policies to improve quality of lives
of workers, that his ministry is ready to work with the foundation in
campaign and public relations work to inform companies about the ban on
alcohol sales in factory and prevent alcoholism in workplaces.
Mr. Anusorn said Ministry of Labour
has also assigned Department of Labour Protection and Welfare to work
with the foundation in working out a project to help workplaces achieve
alcohol-free status. The project might be named “alcohol-free
workplaces”.
A network of 20 drug-free workplaces
is campaigning against alcohol sales to workers in workplaces to improve
their quality of lives and reduce violence in family.
According to foundation data, the rate
of alcohol consumption among female workers rose 68.4 percent early
this year. Two in three female workers drank alcohol three times a week.
43.8 percent of them got drunk. Many of them went into debt. 93.2
percent of the workers were found to have spent their income on alcohol,
gambling, cigarette and lotto.
