Thai fishing industry rife with exploitation

As reported previously, Thailand is a country where many industries exploit the presence of large numbers of undocumented workers from neighbouring countries. The fishing industry is one of these industries with recent media reports highlighting the issue of human trafficking, while the ILO has just published a report exposing the appalling breaches of labour laws in the fishing industry. The fight for workers rights in Thailand is connected to the fight for democracy and against Lese Majeste (article 112).
