Bangkok Bank staff demand better pay

Around 100 employees of Bangkok Bank staged a protest in front of the company's headquarters on Silom Road in Bangkok on Tuesday, demanding bigger salary increases and a return to previous bonus levels.

The Bangkok Bank Workers Union submitted a proposal to executives requesting management resume payment of an annual four-month bonus. Workers now receive a two-month annual bonus.

The employees also want management to resume paying a 450,000 baht lump sum to employees on retirement. Now retirees receive 300,000 baht.

    A good, contagious, practice of employees asking for fairer treatment. It started with the nurses, spread to the airline and now, the bank. Hard for a company boasting of 30 % profits to deny increased benefits to those who, in a large way, are responsible for these huge earnings.
