Research on the Spheres of Thai Labor Law and the Correlation between Them.

目前，泰国劳动法包括以下几个方面。(1)民商法。(2)《劳动保护法》。（三）劳动关系法。(4)劳动诉讼法。（五）劳动培训法。(6)《涉外劳动法》。关于(2)，1998年制定了新的法案。该法案旨在改变“命令型”向“行动型”转变，使其水平与国际劳工标准相适应。关于(3)，2000年颁布了新的《国有企业劳动关系法》。通过该法案，1991年政变时颁布的最后一项法案被推荐并恢复了国有企业员工合并的权利。尽管立法取得了进展，但这些法案存在两个问题。(1)集体劳动法没有建立工会和集体谈判劳动条件权利的基础。其原因是工会化率低、公私工会分离。这种法律状况的背景是对工会的政治偏见。(2)新《劳动保护法》中包含了性骚扰条款。但是，在1997年的经济危机之后，该法案被部门命令修改。这意味着行政权高于立法权。我认为，要从整体上改变这一法律体系以促进发展，还需要很长时间。1997年《宪法》立法后，其作为最高法律的性质被人民广泛接受，男女平等的权利在宪法中得到明确保障。这些基本的法律原则将成为泰国劳动法制度的坚实基础。

At the present time, Thai Labor Law consist of following spheres. (1) Civil and Commercial Law. (2) Labor Protection Law. (3) Labor Relations Law. (4) Labor Procedure Law. (5) Labor Training Law. (6) Foreign Labor Law. Relating to (2), new Act was legislated in 1998. This Act aimed to change the style from Command to Act and suit the level to international labor standard. Relating to (3), in 2000 new State Enterprises Labor Relations Act was enacted. Through this Act, last Act which was enacted on occasion of a coup in 1991 was recommended and recovered the right to consolidate of employee in state enterprises.In spite of the progress of the legislation, there are two problems in these acts. (1) Collective labor law has not the base of the right to make labor union and to collective bargain relating to working conditions. The reason of it is low ratio of unionization and the separation of the private union and the public one. The background of this situation of law is the political bias against unions. (2) The new Labor Protection Act include a sexual-harassment clause in it. But, after the economic crisis of 1997, the Act was amended by orders of ministry. This means that administrative power predominates over legislative power.I think that it will take a lot of time to change this law system for development as a whole. After the legislation of the Constitution of 1997, the character of it as the supreme act is broadly accepted by the people and the right of sexual equality is explicitly guaranteed in the Constitution. These fundamental legal principles will be the firm foundation for the labor law system in Thailand.
