Note that The Labor Protection Act of 1979 was revised and was promulgated as the new labor law in the government gazette on 20th February of 1998 to be in force after 180 days of the date of its promulgation. It is regarded as the perfect new labor law being in force until today. It came into force actually on 19th of August 1998. So in this chapter, I will talk about this new law in particular.
This new labor act contains very universal principles, different from the old law in quite a few aspects which will be mentioned to clarify the reader’s mind all along, and will be in brief so as to be handy and convenient for business use.
As this book is designed for foreigners in particular, so the spelling is made in American style which, I think, is more popular, with hopes of full benefit to all readers.
The virtue of this book, if any, is dedicated to prof. Kasemsant Vilawan, a labor law expert, who gave me very useful advice particularly in writing this chapter.
