webfact 82,164 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Triumph factory sacks workers without notice By The Nation Workers at a Triumph factory in Nakhon Sawan came to work on Friday (July 31) to find a sign saying that all 800 of them had lost their jobs and that the factory will be closed for three months. The company had fired more than 2,000 workers earlier in the year due to the negative effects of Covid-19. The recently sacked workers marched to the Nakhon Sawan Provincial Labour Office for help, but officials asked them to file a complaint letter first.

Popular Post richard_smith237 27,309 Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) This is atrocious... Additionally, have they just been ‘fired’ or have they been laid of with redundancy payments? Or, has Triumph outsourced its labor via an agency so they are not accountable for redundancy payouts? Either way, this looks terrible on Triumph. I get that this is a difficult time for businesses, however, I am seeing some atrocious treatment of employees and workers.

I bet the bosses aren't being laid off or losing pay Thanks for clearing that up. The thread-bare story doesn't say anything about what is produced there. I, like others, immediately thought of motorcycles. A search showed there are three Triumph Motorcycle factories in Thailand, with factory workers wearing very different work clothes. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post geisha 1,556 Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 It’s happening everywhere, factories can’t stay open if there are no orders and cancellations. Unlike Europe and many other countries , Thailand does not supplement the loss of wages due to Covid. No help whatsoever. in EU most get 80% of their normal wages . 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I am Dutch 21 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Triumph announced months ago that they will leave Thailand and close the factory. So it should not been a surprise for the workers. If I can read it on social media/internet so can they. But it is still sad news! Edited July 31, 2020 by I am Dutch Link to post Share on other sites
