Junta takes action against 81 overseas employment agencies

 Narinjara News, 29 September 2024

The military junta has taken actions against 81 overseas employment agencies, said a report of BETV Business.

Those agencies were suspended from offering new jobs for failing to meet the necessary percentage of remittances to the families, as mandated by the junta's labour ministry.

The ministry instructed the agencies to provide proof of remittances to the families of overseas workers for the first three months of this year.

Among the suspended agencies, the majority are those used to send workers to Thailand.

The suspension created difficulties for the individuals associated with overseas employment.

Some workers stated that those connected with the suspended agencies are facing delays in securing permission to leave for overseas employment.

Currently, there are nearly 600 licensed agencies authorized to send workers abroad, with tens of thousands of people departing for overseas employment each month, added the ministry.
