Recent changes in global economy, neo-liberalization as well as rural industrialization have essentially eroded traditional forms of labour employment. Many employers value flexibility over security and increasingly employ short term, subcontracting employment or temporary work. Precarious work are widely spread in several sectors. In the industrial sector, subcontracting is used for reducing labour cost and labour control. Short term employment is also widely used in service sector. Precarious employment essentially effects on labour organization. The workers face difficulty in organizing traditional labour trade union.
This paper investigates precarious employment and labour organizations in Northern Thailand, based on my research with precarious workers in Chiang Mai –Lamphun provinces, Northern Thailand. By using focus group discussion, in-dept interview and statistic data collection, the research shows that labour employment in Northern Thailand has been changed, caused by regional industrialization and trade liberalization. Labour employment in the North has seen its complex, composing of different categories of workers. A part from the factories in the industrial estate, there are many small-medium size factories which have absorbed a large number of the workers. Some of them are subcontracting , homeworkplaces, producing various kinds of products for the large factories. The home workers are mainly women. Furthermore, the expansion of agri-business has brought about the increasing number of contract farming workers. They are often feel ambiguity of two identities; being farmers and workers. Thus,the precarity of labour is essentially rooted in the new forms of production.
Regional industrialization and global economic development generates new wage labour relation which is different from industrial work. The rhythm of work is more fluid and discontinuous. The workers have been more dislocation and they are not being in the workplaces. Free trade policy of the government brought about a number of migrant workers to Northern Thailand and enter different sectors of labour market i.e. service sector and agricultural sector. This paper will also investigate how different categories of workers are organized and how labour dispute will be solved by using a new strategy of labour organizing strength. The paper will illustrate the role of the state in supporting labour organization as well as cooperation of employer –employee relations. Supporting by local government can create bargaining power for contemporary labour organizing in Northern Thailand. However, labour NGOs are also taking important role in strengthening labour organizing. This paper will also examine the conditions which create cooperation of state –private organizations labour assistance.
