THAI staff may quit if tax imbalance not fixed: union
Workers at THAI are demanding a pay raise for staff, who the carrier's union claims are being overworked and unfairly taxed. Union president Damrong Waikanee said Thursday that discrepancies have arisen among employees in terms of how much income tax they pay. He said the company may be at fault. Pilots, mechanics and other staff have expressed their displeasure at the imbalance, Damrong said. This could cause some to quit if steps are not taken, he warned. The employees are split into 2 groups: The first comprises 20,000 people who joined the company in or before 2005; the second batch of 4,000 landed jobs there from 2006. Damrong said the first group pays less tax than their colleagues who joined later even when their salaries are identical. <br/>
