The committee, led by labor secretary Pairoj Chotikasathien and comprising representatives from workers, employers, and the government, will mull over a potential revision. Pairoj mentioned a new wage calculation method suggested by Thammasat University's economics faculty will be on the agenda.

Employer representative Atthayut Leeyavanich contends that the decision, made by consensus and following legal guidelines, should stand. Citing adherence to the Labour Protection Act since 1998, he insists on respecting the committee's verdict.

The committee's previous decision raised the daily wage to 330-370 baht, differing regionally.

Employee representative Weerasuk Kaewboonpan will gather peers' views on whether modification of this resolution is viable.

If the committee agrees to the possibility of change, further discussions on raising wages will ensue. Otherwise, the status quo will be maintained, with an eye on next year's economy for any future wage adjustments in May, Weerasuk states.

Amidst these deliberations, academic Olarn Thinbangtieo suggests a cabinet reshuffle by the prime minister if the government fails to meet its campaign promise of a 400 baht daily wage.

The prime minister, dissatisfied with the minor increases of 2-16 baht and the paltry 2-3 baht hike for southern provinces, vowed to reassess the wage decision, emphasizing the discrepancy with the rising cost of living.
