Swang Suksri, CPF’s senior vice president for human resources, said that the company is committed to following the new migrant labour decree. “CPF has employed migrant workers who adhere to new migrant labour laws, so foreign workers confidently work with the company,” Suksri said in a press statement. CPF now employs about 8,800 migrant workers or 18 per cent of its workforce of 50,000 workers. All the company’s migrant workers hold employee status, entitled to equal pay and benefits enjoyed by Thai workers. This serves as assurance that migrant workers throughout CPF’s supply chain enjoy equal and fair treatment, in line with international human rights standards.
