The MSP sportwear Co, Ltd., in Nakornrachsima, under Mr. Peter Krautler, an Austrian National, as the Managing Director has since October 29, 2004 unfairly terminated the employment of three core union leaders during their campaign for new union membership. The three dismissed unionists have subsequently filed their grievances to the Labour Relations Committee , to NIKE and Decathlon but so far to no avail. Meanwhile, various unions and consumer rights organisations in many countries have launched their campaign calling for NIKE� s actions namely proper investigation on violation of the NIKE Code of Conduct concerning the workers� rights of association and collective bargaining. In Thailand, the Democratic Unions Alliance organised a fund raising activity on February 13, 2005 to mobilise financial support for the two dismissed unionists, Mrs. Samai Kongthaley and Mrs. Ganjana Patiwatwongs, to continue the fight for their due rights.

We, over 70 participants from community-based, national and international non-governmental organizations from the tsunami affected areas in Asia, came together at the Asian Civil Society Consultation on Post-Tsunami Challenges in Bangkok, Thailand on Feb. 13th and 14th, 2005 to discuss the various challenges posed by the disaster of Dec. 26, 2004. We express our solidarity with the survivors and victims of this disaster, and acknowledge the tremendous empathy that has manifested both locally and internationally, in the wake of this tragedy. A speedy revival of normal life, through a democratic process must obtain utmost priority.

An update on the activities of TAG and the situation of Burmesemigrant workers affected by the tsunami in Phang Nga, southern Thailand. The situation is significantly improving for Burmese migrant workersin the tsunami-affected areas, although TAG is still delivering basic relief items to previously unassisted people who continue to be discovered. Many migrants remain in the hill tops, or coconut, rubber and banana plantations. Through coordination with local volunteers,the TAG outreach team travels daily to these communities and is able to serve about 50 migrant workers per week. In order to handle the medical challenges facing migrants, TAG helps migrants to get their health insurance cards re-issued and translates for migrants at the local hospital. In addition, TAG is working with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF-Belgium) in conducting pubic health workshops to educate and train migrants from 21 different areas on basic healthcare and sanitation.
