ST Editorial - Expect fares to go up if you want to improve drivers' salaries
- Thread starter Confuseous
- Start date
Excellent post!
To the point. I love succinct posts like this!
To the many Directors of SMRT, ESP those who holds multiple Directorships in other companies .....you are the cause/root of SMRT problems. You are too expensive to maintain and you don't contribute actively to the public good.
Now, hopefully, we can see how this episode further highlights the idiotic executive compensation packages after those breakdown debacles. IMHO, there should be NO executive bonuses payout for 2012.
I fully agree. In Auckland, a short trip to town and back by bus costs more than $10! That's because the damned drivers are being paid way beyond what they're worth and same goes for the mechanics, the clerks, the cleaners and the rest of the riff raff that work for the company.
That's what happens when minimum wages are mandated by law. Costs go up for everyone you end up back at square one.
why cant these compnaies just take less profit?
see, that's why i can never do successful business..
Yes!, within reasonable AFFORDABLE fares, I rather pay more to benefit my own countrymen than to benefit those of another country & another country.
You cannot compare kiwi fruit with Durian...the people whine here is due to what they "got" ( voted) & can't get rid of (voted out), it is like a bad case of lice or bedbugs. You try calling in the pest control ( opposition), often enough the pest control give up!.
They are whining due to their stupidity, they should shut up & have the best they got..that's the best ( the MIWs).
The "grass is always greener on the other side" but when you get there...one find out that the "grasses cost more"...that is life!!

This statement just goes to show that the drivers are not rewarded properly.....not even decently!
Define "properly" and "decently". These terms are far too subjective to mean anything.
Yes sir, me too. I dont mind increasing bus fares to pay the drivers decent. How much can we save by cutting top management salaries? Dont be naiveYes!, within reasonable AFFORDABLE fares, I rather pay more to benefit my own countrymen than to benefit those of another country & another country.
that's why NZ don't need to import trash from 3rd world countries to cause social problem.
so what if the citizens have to pay more ( compared to sillypore ) of everything , they have good welfare system that
support them when they are old , or sick .
in the end everyone is happy.
the great difference here is the cost goes up but the pay of those lower income stay put and only the those earning millions are
making more.
We are talking about reasonable wages, if we are paying high salaries, we expect competency & productivity, if the china men were to have their salaries to be raised, productivity must be raised too. This is also expected of those in management, all those are responsible must be given a pay & bonuses & perks cut in line with the sacking of those who started the strike.
That means the rest who were involved & not removed up to top management must have at least a one time salary cut for DECEMBER...
Then it is justified to raise bus fares to benefit one and all, top management all the way to the bottom & to the commuters as well..then, all will be happy!

Is your nick a typo error or did you do that on purpose?
The bus companies in Spore are gov't controlled monopolies. As such they are very inefficent. The only way Sporeans will see improvement is to de-regulate & breakup these monopolies. This can only happen when the PAP is removed from power i.e. shareholders decide they need a new CEO with a different vision for the company.
I was working in an upstream tier two subcontractor to Honda in Ontario a couple of years back when the CAW (Canadian auto-workers union) oapproached the Honda workers (non-union) to form a union. Whilst this was going on, Honda management in Japan got the news about it and a few of the Japanese top dogs flew to the plant to see the situation. They spoke to the workers and told them, "If you guys proceed to form a union, we'll shut the factory and move the plant to Mexico." No union was ever formed.
Cheers!
We paid top dollars for those MIWs and Civil serpents, do you think we got the better?
u rather u urself suffer n let elites continue 2 njoy @ ur xpens! ... how daft! ...
