They called on Thailand’s Immigration Bureau for help on Monday. Songkran Achariyasap, who sits on the committee for judicial reform, accompanied the workers as they submitted the video clips as evidence. “These workers want help in claiming wages they are entitled to,” he said. “But relevant authorities should also investigate who should have been held responsible.”He said the workers headed to Dubai because of false promises of high wages and good working conditions. Immigration Bureau deputy chief Pol Maj-General Ittipon Ittisaranachai said his agency would help coordinate with relevant authorities regarding the workers’ demands for unpaid wages.
