Hundreds shocked to find themselves out of a jobWorkers arriving for the reopening of the Body Fashion (Thailand) factory in Muang district of Nakhon Sawan on Friday are shocked to see an announcement outside it with a list of more than 800 workers who have been laid-off. (Photo by Chalit Pumruang)More than 1,000 people at two companies have lost their jobs due to the ailing economy. The factory, in Muang district, had already laid off more than 2,000 workers, citing huge losses, and shut for three months. They later sought help from the Nakhon Sawan provincial labour protection and welfare office, where officials told them to complete the usual forms and wait for assistance. The new notice declared that the deal allowing Star Dome to use the golf course expired on April 30 so the operator, its employers and customers were henceforth all banned from using it.
