Three trade unions handed in the letter to the Chief Executive of the anti-illegal workers and the requirements of inflation pressure
The people of Macao Association for the Advancement of Trade Unions, Macao and the Macao Trade Unions Alliance of Free Trade Unions betting on the joint construction of the anti-illegal workers, high inflation and additional public housing and other issues yesterday afternoon at the Government Secretariat handed in the letter to the Chief Executive .

Usually, most of the illegal worker came from Southeast Asia, like Philippines and Thailand, etc. those poor countries. So, when they arrived, the only job they can do is a low pay, long hours working, and dirty job; only few are lucky. For example, in Taiwan, most of the Philippines women work as domestic and baby sitting; or sometimes Chinese people will illegal sneak in to Taiwan and Hong Kong for work.
Right now, Thailand does not export rice, food and noodles on the market are nearly rose up till 2 times the prices. Many workers can’t pay the prices so they don’t have extra money go shopping, handing out with friends and go out for lunch and dinner. Yet, because the market price goes up makes the worker loss job and those illegal workers can have more change to work more.
