On March 14, at the Government House Mr. Seksak Hunsaard company employee representative Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company Limited or BTSC The service provider of the BTS SkyTrain system said that it had arrived to submit a letter to General Prayut Chan-o-cha Prime Minister Because employees are concerned about the issue that the government owes about 50 billion baht to BTS, but the debt has not yet been paid and there is no clear direction. therefore worried that it might affect the employees and the company in the future if they have to continue to bear the burden of debt
“Confirmed that the submission of the letter this time did not come from an executive order. But it is the needs of the employees themselves. Because over the past 4 years, it has not been implemented. And even if there is a lawsuit, the administrative court will have a judgment ordering the government agency to pay the debt under the employment contract. But the government agency still deflected and slowed down the time by appealing the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court. And practice continues to provide public services continuously, ”said Mr. Seksak.
However, in filing such a letter, the Prime Minister is required to have one of the guidelines. Or pay debts to BTS within 7 days. If not done, they may consider coming to the House again. Even though it is a caretaker government and may consider stopping the bus which people will suffer if stop the bus but asked the public to understand the necessity confirm that in the past employees and the company are professional enough And even though the state owes money, BTS still provides services as usual.
In addition, it is also concerned that if this matter is considered delayed When parliament is dissolved and until elections are held, it may affect the amount of debt. Because at present, the accumulated operating wages are 50 billion baht, interest is 8 million baht per day. Inevitably affects the financial status and financial services. Including the money that the state has to pay, this amount may be the tax of the people as well.
