Wow such high pay!

[winnipegjets]

Before the wage increase, they were making a mere $3.43 an hour, assuming a 40-hr work week! A meal would chew up two hours of their wages! World-class living indeed.

SINGAPORE - The 240 airport trolley handlers are now earning up to $1,000, up from their monthly pay of $550 to as much as $1,000. Their increase in pay depends on their work attendance and performance.

its disgusting that they were earning $550 before and we are told we have swiss standard of living...

fuck and/ or FOO k the rich ass holes who think like that. its ok to have money, but don't use it to keep others "in their place"

 

[GoldenDragon]

Never knew $550 was their salary. Would have thought at least 1k before OT and other allowances. Meals and transport, what's left after that? Still dare to report in the newspapers. Seepay siasuay and malu.

The phrase "as much as" or "up to" is deceptive when you read it please beware....they say "as much as $1000" really means nothing

Agree. This type of wording is machiam saying taxi drivers can make $7k per month....if driving 20 hours everyday non stop for one whole month.

When there is 'noise' to say that even $1k per month is a pittance....
Rest assured the trusty msm will jump in to showcase model worker raising family of 4 on this salary.....and can even buy a new 4 room flat.....surreal stories machiam from another dimension.

 

[Equalisation]

Agree.

Ii is really pitiful. Some of them I have seen is really old and weak in their 70s. I shudder to think if they release our CPF at age 75 which may not be inconceivable. As it is now, they have postponed the disbursement from 55 to 65.

I just gave my letter to HR. Wish me luck in getting this job!

They are so ignorant ...they are fed crap on TV, radio and newspaper. Show them that there is a better world out there and that sinkapore is supposed to be a first world country.
