The Evason Phuket resort in Rawai was abruptly closed on Tuesday (May 22,2012), with 450 staff laid off with immediate effect, according to a labour union leader
Krittiphol Boonreerk, deputy president of the Phuket Island Resort Labour Union told The Phuket News today that almost all the workers at the Evason are seniors, who have spent a long time working at the resort.
“We need the new owner to let them keep their jobs. About 70 to 80 per cent of workers are older, and they will have trouble finding new jobs at their age,” Mr Krittaphol said.
He said workers should register as unemployed with the Labour Office, which will allow them to be added to a job search database.
He also advised workers against signing any documents from Evason without advice from the union, because there might be a risk of them signing away various rights.
Workers were hoping to meet with the owner of the resort on June 12, but at this stage the identity of the owner is still unknown.
V/Gov Sommai told the workers that she will assign the Phuket Provincial Labour Protection and Welfare Office and the Employment Offices to negotiate with the resort owner on their behalf.
