TCC chairman Poj Aramwattananont said yesterday the proposal was raised during a meeting between business representatives and Labour Minister Pongkawin Jungrungruangkit in which the private sector made a number of recommendations to solve labour-related issues.

Both the global and Thai economies are fragile due to trade tensions, the Thai-Cambodian border conflict and a slowdown in the domestic tourism industry, he said.
