There were 10 Male workers and 10 Female workers participants and discussed about concerning with labors’ rights, wages, work time, health care and basic labor rights that are being abused on labors.
Workers have not got the minimum wages 350 if they worked 8 hours a day and they still have to work between 10 hours and 12 hours.
The facilitators analyzed abusing Myanmar migrant workers’ rights and opportunities shows the employers ignored Thai Labor law and human rights and Thai authorities need to force the employers to respect and care on labor rights.
“ The reason of having Labor talk is to educate labor rights and  labor union for workers and the workers will be able to quit from being abused if they become aware of rights” said by one of the facilitator, in charge of this Talk.
Yaung Chi Oo Workers’ Association has been organizing Labor rights, Human rights and Labor Union Talks once in month and it has been 18 years that YCOWA has been helping for migrants workers.
