MoL Union Minister inspects new office space for Labour Attaché in Nonthaburi


A Myanmar delegation led by U Myint Naung, Union Minister for Labour and Myanmar Ambassador U Chit Swe visited new office space, which will be relocated and opened Temporary Data Collection Centre (TDCC) and Myanmar Overseas Employment Agencies Federation (MOEAF).

After the inspections, the Union Minister signed the building lease contract and met with MOEAF officials to coordinate.

As a labour attaché office, following the instruction of the Working Abroad Supervision Committee and the Ministry, the labour attaché office of Myanmar provides protection to Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand so that they are not exploited by employers from the relevant country, facilitating the full enjoyment of the benefits of the labour laws of the relevant countries and assisting with labour difficulties by connecting with the ministries and social organizations in the relevant countries.

Since 2011, under the supervision of the overseas work supervision committee, a labour officer has been appointed, but due to the increase in the number of workers and more effective solutions to labour issues, the Ministry of Labour has sent five labour officers.

According to the MoU U-turn process and other business requirements. In this year October, one director-level officer was sent to Thailand as a labour officer, and one staff officer was also given an extended assignment.

As of October 2022/2023 FY, the number of workers sent to Thailand and the number of CI issued by Myanmar was 1.1 million. The new MoU is 0.44 million and former 16 million MoU people. In addition to a total of 1.7 million, it is estimated that there are some 2.5 million of labours including more than 800,000 to carry out CI.
