THAI union wants tax allowance for all -- Jamsri Sukchotirat, the union's chairwoman, said it was not fair to pay this allowance only to the co-pilots. There are 4,000 people working with THAI under a 2005 agreement that scrapped this benefit, and they should get it back as well. In 2005, THAI announced big changes in its compensation agreement with its employees. One change was regarding tax payments. Since then, most new employees have been responsible for paying their own income tax. And last June, co-pilots who had started working for THAI after January 2005 saw this tax benefit cut as well.
