He has posted in at least three other online jobs portal for Filipino-only hiring and if the restaurant really only has Filipinos in the whole crew setup then its even more guilty of employment malpractices.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]As Singapore grapples with the complicating issue of the foreign-local hiring processes we need to safeguard ourselves from having one particular nationality forming enclave in a sector or work place. Its bad not only for integration reason but also breed unhealthy sectoral segregation within a particular work area.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Already we have heard of how different nationalities divide themselves while working in major MNCs and only mix with their own kind. Squabbles also occur when benefits are dished out differently to respective nationality.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]We hope that MOM will take serious measures to stem out this kind of discriminatory hiring practices –we accept foreigners to work with us but it must be at our terms not theirs![/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Strict deterrent measures must now be meted out for such employment offenders…we don’t need your investment if you can’t even hire a local in your business![/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Meanwhile, we ask all Singaporeans not to patronise the Swiss restaurant until all our requests are being acceded to. The boycott still stands…[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Gilbert Goh[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]President[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Transitioning – unemployment support services[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Petition:-[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Safeguard_the_proper_hiring_practices_of_Singapore/?copy[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]- See more at:http://www.transitioning.org/2013/1...dempsey-road-for-a-year/#sthash.aM7Y1M3h.dpuf[/FONT] |
