At 13.00 hrs., the Center for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) informed the press on the CAPO statement number 9:
It has been already clear that Mr.Suthep Thaugsuban and leaders of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) have violated the law continuously in several cases. On 8 May, the Office of the Attorney-General has issued prosecution orders against 51 persons in various severe cases such as instigating the public to violate the law and obstructing the election, and the Criminal Court has already approved arrest warrants against 38 persons which will be proceeded by the officers concerned.
Although, Mr.Suthep and the PDRC leaders have been under many charges, they have not stopped their actions. On 18 May, they have issued joint statement with the State Enterprises Workers' Relation Confederation (SERC) led by Mr.Komsan Thongsiri, who has been also under several charges and under arrest warrants, requesting the SERC members to strike and showing signs of support to the PDRC demands. The SERC is consisted of numbers of organizations which each are important mechanism of the country. Each organization has specific duties especially to establish cooperation among workers and also to protect interests of the state enterprises under the Labour Relations Law and the State Enterprise Labour Relations. These laws have many regulations and one of the most important points is prohibiting strike which could damage performance of state enterprises.
It is believed that the statement was influenced by Mr.Suthep. The SERC has a freedom to decide whether to follow the PDRC or not. Moreover, there are many employees working in many labour federations who intentionally perform their duties under the hard pressure.
The CAPO expressed its compliments and supports to employees and officials of state enterprises who have worked hard. The CAPO requested labour federations to be reminded the regulations under the law and to not violate them especially by striking. Such action could face legal actions.
The CAPO will invite executives of all state enterprises to meet with executives of the CAPO on 21 May, 14.00 hrs. at the CAPO headquarters to prepare for the possible situation. The CAPO will also issue a letter to the Supreme Commander to discuss and request for personnel to solve the situation in case there are electricity and water supplies cuts in the CAPO's responsible areas.
