This video was shared by a Filipino teacher in Washington, D.C. I first read about the news when this association of Filipino teachers in Louisiana was recognized by the American Federation of Teachers for their bravery in fighting against their placement agency. The same thing is happening in most of the placement agencies here in Thailand but everyone is afraid of losing their job that's why most of the Filipino teachers in the kingdom prefer to be silent and accept the fact as if it's not hurting them.

Please share your comments of the video and your thoughts on how such action can be replicated in Thailand or how relevant is the video to the working condition of some of the Filipinos here.
