This is how toothless our Union is. It is not by chance. It happens when at the top hierarchy, we have a Minister heading the Union. And the result is clear. The only time we are 'better' than the Australians is on the longer working hours.
Australia:
- 38 hours work week
- 28 days annual leave
- 2 days compassionate leave
- Long service leave
- Minimum wage
- Community service leave
- Redundancy Payment
Singapore:
- 44 hours work week
- 7 days annual leave
- NO compassionate leave
- NO long service leave
- NO minimum wage
- NO Community service leave
- NO redundancy payment
