The new PSA cranes can grab 2 containers at one go. Effectively reducing the operator headcounts

Prostitute earn how much?

If they knew how much prostitutes earn, PM pay may rise another 50%.

Seriously, this kind of shit cannot be believed. Crane operator earning $5900 might have been the past. But now, any crane operator earning $5900 is immediately laid off and replaced with a PRC crane operator earning $2800, here on a work visa and stealing the sinkie crane operator's job.

[h=2]Crane operator complaints of too many foreigners in the industry pushing down salary[/h]
Dear Mr Gilbert Goh,
A brief introduction: I’m a crane operator.
I have spent almost 3 years in this trade.
I’m just sharing what our government has done to the crane industry.
As we all can remember, somewhere about 1 year ago, this was a pretty hot topic with headlines like “$4000 basic and $7000 salary for Crane Operators in Singapore”.
The response was overwhelming. There were hundreds (or even thousands) of local sign- ups.
The waiting period for the course was like 6 months and beyond.
The course fees went up and that did not discourage locals from signing up.
Well, as far as I can remember (correct me if I’m wrong), when I joined this trade in 2012, I was told that this position was reserved for locals and PR!
In 2012, when I joined the industry, I saw foreigners holding S-Pass in the trade.
Perhaps there’s not enough operators, so the government lossens the rules a little.
The salary also decreases as a result.
There are many people leaving the trade with reasons like the salary was too low or they couldn’t get the job.
Last year, when the HDB & LTA launched many projects, the demand went up for crane operators.
Granted, it was a lot.
However, the positions were filled out by foreigners holding work permit.
A lot of the local operators were replaced by cheap labour or low wage workers.
The main point is, while the government encourages local workers and pays for the apprenticeship course fees, they open the gate for the foreigners till it is now chock-full.
They came in with work permits, snatching all of our jobs, pushing down our pay very badly.
There are currently more than a hundred jobless local operators.
Please refer to Facebook page, Brother of The Hook Singapore for more info.
Regards,
Ajit

More proof that this sort of report is bullshit

  The Authority encourage the local and PRS to get the licence but they never policize it and its a loop hole for the FWs. With the companies want cheap labour as other PMETS jobs, they will go for the cheapest…. typical local companies, encourage by NTUC. ‘ young, cheap & fast’ slogan.

  My dear friend, this is only the beginning!
  We did not reached the 6.9 million population target yet and it is already so bad.
  Tell me what happens when we reached the 6.9 target?
  You know what to do in the next GE!

  Current pay for crane operator is what foreigners willing to accept — roughly $1.5K per month. Basic pay. You can work 12-15 hours a day to get OT pay. But some companies play punk — don’t pay you OT or keep on delaying in paying you. As S’pore’s economy gets worse in 2015/2016, more construction companies will default on paying salaries and run road. Like what happened 10 years ago in 2003/2004.

Wat a bull-shit. My niece wok as CSM paid only $2,600 lah. Only take the top few level and not taking the average level.

People compete for the best.
Now people compete for low wages just to get a job.
Rising cost low wages. Those who wan a job need to bid a lower wages to get hired.
