NTUC to probe labour mystery

[MarrickG]

THE labour movement aims to unravel the mystery of why a relatively large number of men tend to quit the workforce in their 50s, instead of staying on until the retirement age of 62.

Official manpower figures show that the labour force participation rate for men dips after age 50.

There is no data on the reasons behind this dip, a trend which the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) intends to study in its bid to get more older men, as well as women, to work longer.

"quit the workforce after 50"? more like they got retrench and cannot be rehired.

Nothing mysterious about this.

When you hit 50, employers will suddenly find u SLOWER, MORE EXPENSIVE and less BETTER.

Then they will say need to 'adjust' your wages.

Then they will put a foreign trash worker to 'assist' you.

After assisting you for 6 months, one day you find a letter from the boss telling you to take a 'permanent leave'.

The 154th at it worst again! QUIT? Hello! CB KIA! They were retrenched or sacked and cannot find work eventhough they have vast experience against 95% of the FTs that are here! :oIo:

We can expect the results to belittle Singaporeans and to hail the PAP for bringing in FTs by the hundreds of thousands. :oIo:

We all have to work harder to conveince our loved ones and those around us that the PAP has to go in the next GE.

If the PAP wins the next GE, we are doomed forever, and I mean FOREVER!

Merdeka from PAP!
Merdeka for Singapore!
MERDEKA!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the greatest joke or hoax in the history of social economics. The fellow who thought this up deserves a PBM or even to stand for election. Oh, no need, yah? Lim Swee Say is already MP and Minister, always walkover no election required. Oh OK.

Can't, otherwise people would accuse the government for hiring a foreign talent, albeit a very real one that really fits the description...

They'd say things like: can't our own people excel in detective work?!?!?! :p
