sooo the moral of the story is ...... ?
If employees don't stand up to employers, they get bullied, oppressed and exploited.
Any country, any nationality, any industry... it's the same.
Often the pro-business and pro-capitalist folks (read: PAP supporters) threaten that jobs may be shipped away if we 'lose our competitiveness' (read: get better wages, perks and welfare). They call themselves 'job creators'. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The truth is: businesses are scared of workers and they need workers. Don't let their empty threats hold you ransom. Too many employees keep quiet when things are not going well at the workplace, because they don't want to appear 'confrontational' and risk losing their job. As a result, the bullying, exploitation and unreasonable demands keep piling up.
