A Statutory Solution for Industrial Peace

[Loofydralb]

This was from a contribution at TRE website:

Since they are in the groove of arresting people, they just may want to consider arresting the SMRT management who failed in their duties to manage the morale of the drivers.

Remember that it takes two to tango.

For a long time management has it easy. Take big salary but fail to do a job, even those that cause public disruption, get away scott free.

Its time to amend the law. Just like the recently revamped industrial safety laws that were updated to blame employees, even after years of punishing the management does not work; industrial action laws should be changed to reflect and punish management failures that cause strikes.

I feel its worth it to explore this.

It will be a disincentive for management from now onwards, if it was instituted, to ignore issues that workers on the ground bring up.

Singapore is shamelessly and ruthlessly pro-employer, and consequently employees have little or no rights and are constantly exploited.

Having a sham 'union' in NTUC further exacerbates this lopsided balance of power.

Singapore has no natural resources and only has the human resource, right?

That's how most companies see their workers: human resource. Less human, more resource.

I see that it is ok to have a sham union provided penalties and enforcements are carried out upon errant management who put the system at risk.

They are highly overpaid but fail in their jobs.

Singapore labour unions are names created by a bunch of greedy employers to full employee into believing that they are fighting for worker's rights.
