SMRT wage protest: 60 drivers didn't show up for work
27 November 2012

SINGAPORE: Reports say 60 of the 102 SMRT drivers who staged a wage protest on Monday did not show up for work on Tuesday.

According to TODAY's tweets, police are at a dorm for the SMRT drivers and two police cars are spotted.

TODAY's tweets also quoted an SMRT source as saying that no arrests have been made and that those who do not turn up for work on Tuesday will be sacked.

A statement from SMRT confirms that some 60 drivers "did not turn up for work in the morning, some of whom have valid medical reasons."

SMRT adds that some bus services may have been affected on Tuesday morning as a result, and it has activated other drivers to assist.

"We continue to keep our communications open with the Service Leaders, and are also working with the relevant authorities to find an amicable resolution," says the statement.

Channel NewsAsia understands that a doctor is at the Woodlands dormitory, where the drivers are staying at, to check if they have valid reasons to be absent from work.

The authority should do a compilation of the number of accidents due to the PRC drivers and Malaysian drivers to know the difference in their service quality.
