[h=2]Suspected discriminatory retrenchment targeting S’poreans in MNC[/h]
July 31st, 2012 |
Author: Contributions
17 jobs in a 1200+ MNC company were made redundant on 26 Jul 2012, shortly after my son celebrated racial harmony day.
Staff retrenched belong to only 1 division of the 5 division. This division has some ~150 staff. Interestingly majority of the staff consist foreigners from India, Philippine, China and others. Singaporean is in fact minority in that division. The top management in that division is from India.
Reasons for retrenchment cited is poor economic condition but in actual fact it’s because of massive loss due to gross mismanagement of a handful of projects. The division still has sufficient projects on hand, most if not all are tendered under cost. Of the 17 jobs loss, all except 1 was handed out to Singaporean. 98% retrenched are Singaporean.
Since Singaporean is the minority in that division, how did the percentage of Singaporean retrenched constitute to 98% PMET? Does that mean the majority of Singaporean PMETs are underperformers? Or is this a case of employment holocaust blatantly executed in Singapore on our citizen?
We need questions to be answered, not by the MNC, but by ourselves or GOV if they are reading?
1. PMET in Singapore are not protected by MOM or UNION, they are to seek recourse through civil or class action by themselves, this MOM bill needs address as it is outdated as PMET is not as affluent compared to 1960s. They are more helpless compare to back then.
2. Abolish UNION laws that make them powerless. UNIONs today behave like a clubhouse or association that only collects membership fees.
3. TAFEP states that Singaporeans MUST remain the core of our workforce. At the same time foreigners play a valuable role in complementing our workforce. How is this enforced or it this just a recommendation? In this case, Singaporeans MUST remain the core of retrenchment?
4. Does MOM require justification on how retrenchment is conducted? If no, how does it safeguard fair retrenchment and that includes foreigners’ employee.
Singapore has jobs advertisement targeting foreigner, but we only have retrenchment targeting Singaporeans.
I strongly believe that the MNC involved is centered on fair employment; however it is their misguided foreign legion that causes this misfortune in Singapore. Can they correct it?
