Evidence That PAP Tripartite Labour System Is The World's Best! No May Day Protests!

PARIS: French and Turkish police fired tear gas at protesters as tensions erupted in both countries during May Day rallies on Sunday (May 1), while thousands marched across the globe for the annual celebration of worker's rights.

From Moscow to Madrid, workers chanted demands for higher wages, better conditions and more job security as many countries battle economic uncertainty and high unemployment.

Thick clouds of tear gas hung above the Place de la Nation square in Paris where youths in balaclavas and ski masks lobbed cobblestones and bottles at black-clad riot troops shouting: "Everyone hates the police."

Police estimated some 17,000 protesters marched throughout the French capital for a rally riding a wave of anger against planned labour reforms set to come before parliament on Tuesday. Ten people were arrested, while one demonstrator and one officer were lightly injured in the scuffles, police said.

The May Day rally was the second protest against the reforms in a week to descend into violence led by troublemakers known as "casseurs" (breakers) who actively seek confrontation with security forces.

"We will respond with the greatest of determination to these troublemakers ... the attacks and violence against security forces are unacceptable," said French Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Sunday.

While the government hopes the reforms will reduce chronic unemployment of about 10 percent, critics believe they threaten hard-won workers' rights by making it easier to lay off people in lean times.

The government has already watered down the bill but this has failed to calm the anger among students and workers.

"Withdraw, withdraw the labour law. Not amendable, not negotiable," protesters chanted.

TENSIONS IN TURKEY

In Istanbul, police clamped down on unauthorised protests at a time of particular tension after a succession of deadly attacks this year in Turkey blamed on militants and Kurdish militants.

Around 25,000 police were on duty, cordoning off the central Taksim Square and releasing volleys of tear gas and water cannon on those trying to make their way to the protest hotspot, an AFP photographer said.

Trade unions here are no different from those in North Korea or China. They just do the government's bidding. How has NTUC protected sinkees from displacement? Nothing. NTUC supports the government's policy of importing more foreigners to displace sinkees. It is really not a trade union but another arm of the government; that's why the union chief is a minister ...a greedy dog, earning $2 million as a minister and an undisclosed amount as a union chief.

The trade union leaders will be made to pay when the PAP is gone.

If other labour union systems in the West are working fine, then why are tens of thousands of white workers violently protesting on May Day every year?

That the people are fighting the government and corporations show that the unions are indeed fulfilling their role. Unions are there to protect the workers, not kowtow to business and government. PAPpies are incapable of understanding that as you have just demonstrated.

If unions have to regularly organize strikes and violent protests, then it shows that they have been ineffective in putting an end to unfair labour practices.

There are no such strikes in Singapore because the tripartite movement have benefited vast majority of workers and have put a decisive end to many exploitative behaviour of bosses that we still find common in the West. No strikes here!

You capitalist pig! They know they deserve more. Here in Singapore where it is governed by a Hakka family, they will not let you starve but you will remain healthily lean without exercising.

In Singapore NTUC is owned and operated by the PAP government just like almost everything else under the sun. How to show dissent? :rolleyes:

A bird locked inside his cage could not fly away. The owner was deluded to beleive that the bird actually like him more than freedom.

In Singapore, if you protest for "rights" you are seen as a "loser" in society. Uniquely Singaporean.

Better to sit back, enjoy your char-kwey teow, leave the fighting to the opposition party. Better not to act-clever.

Cheers!
