The labour union of the State Railway of Thailand resolved on Monday to submit a letter to governor Yutthana Thapcharoen to tell him to consider himself since the Office of the Auditor General has found he may have been involved in a corruption case in connection with the lease of the Sunday Market.
Sawit Kaewwan, chairman of the union, said Mr Yutthana should consider suspending from duty as SRT governor to prove himself. He can return to work if he is not found guilty, he added.
Also on Monday, Mr Sawit attended a meeting with the SRT boad to discuss reforms of the rail agency. He said the union was persistent in its opposition to the plan to restructure the SRT, which seeks to set up two subsidiaries for train operations and assets management as well as against the planned management of the Airport Link.
He said the union wants SRT employees to be mainly used for the Airport Link project as they are experienced in the rail system.
