(Photo by Assawin Pakkawan)Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has given a guideline for authorities to address the labour shortage in the fishery sector, government spokesman Lt Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Sunday. Lt Gen Sansern said that, according to Gen Prayut, the problem must be tackled urgently since Thailand is one of the world's leaders in the fishing industry, making a huge yearly income from it. The spokesman said Gen Prayut gives three options in his guideline. Their employers can take them to report to one-stop-service centres in 22 coastal provinces for the extension by Sept 30. Lt Gen Sansern said the prime minister has instructed the Labour Ministry to urge employers and fishing business operators to expedite taking their workers, especially those in the first category, to report to the one-stop-service centres.
