In June 1992 the GSP subcommittee decided to extend its
review of workers' rights for 6 months to allow the govern -
ment to review arid modify labour policies and bring these
into conformity with international standards. There was a
hope that labour relations would take an about turn in 1992

events in Thailand forcing the military regime to call elections.
In September 1992 a democratically elected coalition
government came to power. However, promises by the new
Prime Minister during the election campaign to reform industrial
relations have yet to materialize.
