NTUC: Wages need to account for standard of living?
It states that “Explaining the NTUC’s standpoint after meetings with the business community, Mr Lim said that equal remuneration would not take into account the standard of living in Singapore as opposed to other regions, and this would be unfair for local workers who have to support their family members here.”
Since the NTUC is now saying that we need to “take into account the standard of living in Singapore” as “local workers (who) have to support their family members here”, then the obvious question that may come to mind is what is a fair wage in Singapore?
Practically everyday in the media, you see something on the continuing debate about the need to pay low-income Singapore workers more.
But, how much more?
