No 1 which no countries wanted it ro to build it

[tanwahtiu]

this is the no.1 title which no countries are interested to build it.

Building monstrous size airport using slaves labors cleaners? only Singapore can do it, what a shame.

Every square meter of floors built need to be cleaned and only use of slaves labors to foot the cleaning bills, shamelessly.



News that make your blood boil!

Reading the news is normally quite funny – but today’s may make your blood boil!

We refer to the article “Progressive wage model plans for aviation industry” (Straits Times, May 8).

Pay from $580 to as much as $1,000?

It states that “Salaries of 240 airport trolley handlers were already increased from about $580 to as much as $1,000 last August.”

We seem to be so proud of this achievement of increasing the pay of these workers from $580 to – and I think here’s the catch – “to as much as $1,000″ – So, does it mean that some are still being paid somewhere between $581 to $999?

Proud of this achievement or SHAME!

As to “This rise of about 40 per cent is part of NTUC’s efforts to improve the pay of low-wage out-sourced contract workers”

We should be ashamed of the fact that after our much touted trade union movement and tripartite’s efforts all these years – our world class award-winning airport was paying such “slave wages” ($580) to as I understand it mostly elderly Singaporeans.
Declining real pay for years?

And if and when we achieve $1,000 pay for all the airport trolley workers, it may still be in real terms about a 40% decline in pay, compared to about 14 years ago.

As to “A progressive wage model will be developed by the end of next year for six types of jobs”

i remember wikipedia say in most countries,minimum wage or wage contracts between labour unions and employers in first world countries are usually about 30 to 60% of the countries' gdp per capital.....

only in singapore u can find people paid less than 1/6th of the nation's gdp.

this is called slave exploitation to the max....

 

[tanwahtiu]

I believe if you did deeper, the contractor company charge PAP more and pay little to cleaners.

And the cleaning company is one of the PAP GLCs and in management have PAP dogs and leeches in there.

Silence! The PAP has creating many jobs like these to meetl the aspirations of many sinkies!

Why should such a lowly job deserve anything close to $1000? A trained chimpanzee could do it.

 

[tanwahtiu]

cleaning are essential works, not jobs, to be done by another human person. Why build a monstrous building to brag for best airport in the whole when it cannot afford to pay cleaners well to clean the building?

Don't build something monstrous when you cannot afford to pay cleaners well. The same as don't overpay ministers with obscene salaries to claim they deserve better pay than cleaners. Cleaning work are valued jobs and not to undermine them as low paid jobs.

Dont build anything when you cannot afford to maintain it clean. Given if you cannot afford to maintain your wife then don't get married in the first place?

It has nothing to do with affordability. It is the duty of any organisation to pay as little as possible for staff in any position not just cleaners.

I pay my staff the barest minimum too.

 

[tanwahtiu]

you miss the forest for the trees.

Don't build a monstrous building if you cannot afford to pay cleaners well.

Same as don't live in a mansion if you cannot afford to pay maids well. Nothing to bragged to be No 1 if cannot afford to pay your local cleaners well.

[Leongsam]

you miss the forest for the trees.

And you are missing the point. When I was making tons of money in Singapore, I could easily have afforded to pay my maid $10,000 per month and still remain wealthy.

However, I was working hard to make myself rich and had no intention of paying anything more than the minimum sum required to secure the services of a maid. That's why I hired an Indo maid and paid her only $250 per month with no days off.

The issue is not about affordability. It's about keeping overheads as low as possible in order to maximise returns.

Please, sir, train some chimpanzees to do these jobs, then.

chimpanzees are expensive to procure. moreover, there's a lot of cost, overhead and regulation associated with keeping exotic animals above radar. it's far more affordable to employ humans from a 3rd world cuntry.

The chimps would make sinkies look stupid. That's why they aren't used.

 

[ginfreely]

It is really disgusting that the ministers are paid millions while others can be paid as little as between 580 and 1000. Minimum wages should be implemented to prevent such exploitation.

The sinkie news reports can report about this so matter of factly as in straight faced without any hint of embarrassment. In fact the way they write it it's like they did a damn good deed. Wow sinkland increases the slave wages of low lvl employees slightly higher!!! Wow what a good deed. Praise sinkland govt PAP!

Minimum wages? Pappy doesn't give a shit. For years now ppl have been making suggestions like spend more money on the poor instead of the YOG for example. Did any of that ever come to fruitation?

 

[tanwahtiu]

this is a corporation, a biz entity, not a family home.

Paying right wages to workers are biz tax deductible, nothing to squeeze from. Want to squeeze build small sustainable airport to reduce overhead cost.

PAP has been getting away too many times, greed and do as they please.

The right wage is minimum wage - pay the minimum you can get away with!

How much will you pay the chimp trainer.?

u are right no chimp would be that retarded to work for less than 16% of national gdp.
