Unions from all sectors can be affiliated to SERC.



Thailand has 30 million workers in the Thailand workforce but only 500,000 are organised. SERC's new regulation means that SERC will be able to increase union members which will give them more bargaining power. There are currently three private sector unions affiliate to SERC.



At the recent launching of new DTAC Workers' Union, Brother Savit Kaewvon, SERC General Secretary said that he was happy to see DTAC workers organised as the Telecoms sector had been a very challenging sector in the past.



SERC is a Thai labor organisation, representing 44 trade unions, with 200,000 members from state-owned enterprises and private companies.
