Singapore's labor movement to focus on job creation, growth
+ - 11:03, January 03, 2009
Singapore's labor movement will work with the government and employers to help protect jobs and create growth for the country, local media reported on Friday.

According to Channelnewsasia's report, Lim Swee Say, Secretay-General of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), said in an email to unionists and the NTUC staff that the labor movement will focus on three priorities.

I don't under stand how can this arsehole Lim swee Say, an SAF scholar can become a Sec Gen of the NTUC. What are his qualifications? Is it not a conflict of interest for a govt. minister to be running such an organization?

First, the labor movement will work actively with companies and the government to improve productivity and reduce business costs, including wage costs and non-wage costs, in order to save jobs.

Second, workers should upgrade and re-skill for new and different jobs.

Third, the labor movement will stay the course to achieve its longer term objectives of getting more women and older workers back into the workforce, as well as enhancing the employability of low-skilled workers.

Lim said in his email that the labor movement will face the challenges with confidence and with strong support from union leaders.

Why dun he just send back all the FTs, that will satisfy all his 3 priorities, in particular, the 3rd priority. This kind of useless cheebye minister, paid millions of dollars to come up with these 3 priorities that any pre-u student can do? Fuck, send all the FTs back, and it will resolve all the problems. this also dun know, meh?

Singapore Friday revised its economy forecast to a contraction of 2.0 percent and an expansion of 1.0 in 2009, lower than its earlier estimated growth.

this only proved that the gahmen is overpaid to zo-bo-lan. their job is to ensure stability of the island, to minimize risks & soften impact from global econ, ensure growth of econ slow & steady.

using global busted econ as reason is no excuse la.

send FT home? then who's gonna do all the low paying and hard labor job that no sinkies want to do? you?

pay them more? the cost of paying them more will be transferred back to the paying customers, no matter which industry you're talking abt. so instead of $3.00 chicken rice or bak chor mee, it will be $4.50 instead, cos now it cost $1200 to hire a sinkie to clear table & wash plates.

we only have ourselves to blame for this predicament. We have became over-reliant on cheap labor of the past and now we can't get out this mess.

going forward sinkies better be prepared for rising prices in everything cos wage cost will rise, no matter wat.

Wages alone do not make up the total cost of doing business. Those huge rental every month taken by the KOPITIAM owner, the huge elect bill is also the Add to the high cost. It not abt wages any more. It the overall costing that is pulling SIngapore competitiveness downward. The BIGGEST land lord of Singapore is causing more harm then good for the overall development of Singapore in long run.

Our wage has not rise in term of the cost of living. That the root cause of it.

wage cost is one major component, no matter how u see it. Land lord - monopoly, electricity bill - monopoly. the only "flexibility" in running a business is wage cost, ie hire foreigners who is willing to shit work for $600-$900 a month.

we all know the empty promises that govt have made for helping SMEs. Help? what help?

we are beginning to see more protests by FTs nowadays, because of pay disputes and joblessness.

maybe they will be the ones to overthrow the PAP regime when the day comes.

looks like pap created their own demise...

er... when is a prc/bangla dishwasher a Foreign Talent???:rolleyes:

anyway just 10-15yrs back, every stall owners clear it own utensils and wash their own plate. Customers are charged $2.00 for most of the food.

Now even hawker centre become self service, had a centralised utensils collection point manned by unstaff foreign workers, result in many tables not clear after customers left long time ago. Customers now charged $3.50 yet had to eat beside dirty dishes. So much for outsourcing.

In fact now i shun any stalls that put up self service sign. why should i paid to service myself.

10-15 yrs back? those yrs are gone. I think u need to accept tat.

land cost will continue to be high regradless, cos part of the "reserves" that is propping up the SG$ is the land that the govt owns.
