MAP Foundation is a registered Thai NGO which has been working with migrant workers from Burma for the last sixteen years. Together with migrant communities, MAP works on issues relating to labour conditions, living conditions, health and women’s rights.
We are currently looking for a Project Manager to run the Community Radio Station which strives to build and empower migrant communities by using radio as means for outreach, cultural entertainment, dissemination of information as well as providing migrants their own forum to express themselves. The position would be based in Mae Sot with some trips to Chiang Mai and other area if need.

The Administrative Court has thrown out a case seeking an injunction against government plans to raise the national daily minimum wage to 300 baht.
The court dropped the case filed by 41 business operators, saying the tripartite Central Wage Committee's decision on the wage hike followed proper procedures and that employers must abide by the panel's decision.

Stranded in factories or dormitories during the floods, often without their passports and documents in their possession, many migrant workers are now facing hefty fines for overstaying their visas and/or their 90 days notification.
Burmese migrant workers at the Sang Chareon Hot Dip Galvinize Co Ltd in Pathum Thani told MAP Foundation that they are being fined over Bt15,000 for overstaying because of the floods. The workers' visas expired on October 28 and the human resources manager who held their passports could not get to the Immigration office because Pathum Thani was under water. On November 25, they were told that Immigration would charge them Bt15,000 each for the 20 days overstay. Overstay fees for visa are Bt500 a day with a maximum of Bt20,000 fine.

The MAP Foundation is a grassroots NGO in Thailand that supports migrant workers from the surrounding countries, particularly Burma. There are an estimated three million migrant workers working in Thailand, both legally and illegally. Many of these migrants are concentrated in the North along the border with Burma. This is also the hub of Thailand's garment industry.

Burmese and others caught in flood should get free passage, not be fined
Thailand is going through a tough time at present, with millions hit hard by dramatic flooding. This is a national crisis that will cost the country billions. Amid this drama, there have been some magnificent reactions from volunteers, companies, as well as troops, government and city officials who have worked tirelessly for the public good.

Opinion Piece:
Jackie Pollock, MAP Foundation, Nov 4th 2011
In the midst of a humanitarian crisis, the local authorities in Mae Sot, Tak Province have declared a witch hunt on undocumented migrant workers. Mae Sot is the closest crossing point into Burma for the thousands of migrants affected by the floods in Bangkok and Central Thailand. It is also a town of refuge, or at least was.
