'High heels mob' wants wage relief from stateA group of night entertainment workers led by the Empower Foundation protest outside Government House on Wednesday. The workers, led by the Empower Foundation, said their sector has suffered from lockdown measures, but no relief measures have been provided. Further, they said they were not included in any government Covid-19 relief measures, even after they pleaded for help. "However, there are no government relief measures, as most of the workers are not insured under the social security scheme," Ms Thanta said. Those who are eligible for funds have to be Thai nationals working in nightspots who are already insured under the Social Security Act.
