So is Singapore a MERITocracy or a GREEDocracy? What do you think?

[Confuseous]

Paying employees by nationality rather than by performance smells of exploitation and greed by SMRT, a GLC no less.

Are the admin staff in the SMRT paid on the same basis?

What do you think?

Different terms and conditions for the same job is commonplace the world over.

What it's about

EPMU members at Air New Zealand subsidiary Zeal 320 Ltd are currently in dispute with Air New Zealand over a disparity of pay that sees them paid tens of thousands of dollars a year less than those employed directly by Air New Zealand.

The 240 flight attendants at Zeal crew Air New Zealand's A320 fleet, which services part of the airline's Trans-Tasman and Pacific routes as well as a small number of domestic flights.

These workers do the same work on the same routes, wearing the same uniforms as staff directly employed by Air New Zealand. The only difference is that Air New Zealand employs them under a wholly-owned subsidiary on lower terms and conditions.

The union has been in negotiations with Air New Zealand for seven months to try and resolve the issue but has been unable to persuade the company to start addressing the disparity.

As a result, Zeal staff began low-level industrial action on March 28 involving a breach of uniform policy and refusal to fill out some paperwork.

Since April 1 workers have been refusing standby duty. This means the company is having difficulty filling crew requirements at short notice.
From May 7 workers took four days of full strike action. The airline responded with a lockout notice.

The airline's response to the industrial action has been to make constant legal threats and threats of damages to the union and its members, to grossly mislead the public and other staff members about Zeal workers' wages, to attempt to engage strike-breakers and to threaten to "sack and replace" the Zeal staff if the strike action continues.

Air New Zealand has been attempting to engage the flight attendants it employs directly to strike-break against Zeal and has publicly boasted that it has 100 ready to go in the case of full strike action.

The company has also published large three-colour advertisements in major newspapers advertising for replacement staff to crew its A320 fleet.

Strike-breaking is technically illegal under the Employment Relations Act, however we suspect Air New Zealand will use a loophole in company law to claim that its subsidiary Zeal is merely contracting for the work, and therefore the airline can man the planes itself if Zeal is unable to fulfil its contract.

All the Zeal crew want is for Air New Zealand management to treat them the same as every other flight attendant working on Air New Zealand planes. It's a matter of basic fairness.

Same job. Different nationality. One quarter the pay. http://en.carnoc.com/list/6/6626.html


Quarter Pay for Air New Zealand's Shanghai Cabin Crew

Source: Radio New Zealand Author: 03/15/2008​

Subject Concerned: Government Aircrew Airlines Human Resource​

A former Air New Zealand flight attendant based in Shanghai says her average take home pay was only NZ$659 per month.

It has been revealed Air New Zealand flight attendants based in Shanghai are paid a quarter of the salary of their counterparts in New Zealand.

Air New Zealand is majority owned by the New Zealand Government.

A former China-based attendant, Crystal Zeng, was hired for the job in New Zealand.

She was transferred to Shanghai under the belief she was working for Air New Zealand; but was later told she was actually employed by a Chinese company.

Ms Zeng says she felt cheated and disgusted when she discovered she was being paid much less than her New Zealand counterparts.

A former Immigration Minister is accusing the airline of being a "flying sweat shop."

Tuariki John Delamere says more than 30 Air New Zealand flight attendants are based in Shanghai and they're getting the equivalent of NZ$4 per hour for flight time.

Air New Zealand is refusing to comment.

Serious Visa Questions

Mr Delamere says the flight attendants were hired for Air New Zealand through a Chinese company, which he says, raises big questions over how they obtained work visas.

He says Air New Zealand's attitude is disgusting considering it is majority owned by the Government.

A spokesperson for the Minister of Labour says the Department of Labour has been asked for a report on the issue.​

Singapore is a kleptocracy and a plutocracy.

Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, (from Greek: κλέπτης - kleptēs, "thief"[1] and κράτος - kratos, "power, rule",[2] hence "rule by thieves") is a form of political and government corruption where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population, often without pretense of honest service. This type of government corruption is often achieved by the embezzlement of state funds.

Plutocracy (from Ancient Greek πλοῦτος, ploutos, meaning "wealth", and κράτος, kratos, meaning "power, dominion, rule"), also known as plutonomy or plutarchy, is rule by the wealthy. Its first known use was in 1652.[1] Unlike systems such as democracy or anarchism, plutocracy is not rooted in an established political philosophy and has no formal advocates. The concept of plutocracy may be advocated by the wealthy classes of a society in an indirect or surreptitious fashion, though the term itself is almost always used in a pejorative sense.

What do you think?

Can an ah tiong speak dialects or even England or should it be English?

If not , go fuck off lah. Of course if employees do lack of certain required skills to do the work to start off with.

Employers righfully CAN PAY LESS!!

If not why don't you ask the Pinoy maids you see or even bonk why they can get paid more than Indo or Myanmar maids even before they take the job?

Very simple. As am employer, I will be willing to SPEND the same amount for same amount of work.

Therefore, Singaporeans, $1,800.00 *
Malaysians $1,800 minus levy of $350.00 so $1,450.00.
PRC $1,450 minus cost of accommodation so $1,050.00.

* unfortunately, this group costs another $288.00.
