The former staffers from Patong told Vice Governor Somkiet Sangkaosutthirak, who received the complaint in person on Tuesday (July 28), that they were sacked without proper notice served.
They also called on officials to investigate the company to ensure that the foreign workers who allegedly replaced them were working legally.
“We were told that they had to let us go because the company couldn’t afford to pay us,” said Mr Eakachat, one of aggrieved.
“We all worked for the company for two to three years,” he said. “The company agreed in the employment contract to pay employees about B2,000 per item worked.
“We asked for some compensation or to keep us on until the end of July so we can find other jobs, but the company rejected our offer,” he added.
Mr Eakachat claimed that his former employer had now hired foreigners to work for the company.
“We know the company has hired foreign workers instead of us, so we want officials to check that the company has followed the regulations for hiring foreign workers,” he said.
