“Like in all brochures the companies put out, it is beyond just what’s being written there. You’ve got to drill down to the details as to what exactly do they mean by their specific recommendations. When people look at all these items, they should perhaps look into the details or perhaps ask for better explanation as to how these policies can be implemented.”

“Singapore’s Labour Chief Lim Swee Say said the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) manifesto is a compass that charts a firm, long-term course for the country.

He said people should not just think about the micro aspects of policies.”

新航工程合资公司裁员被指“激进” 引来职总介入纠正

服务之鹰亚洲公司(Eagle Services Asia)是新航工程(SIA Engineering)的合资公司。不过,近日却传出裁员风波,短短三日内多达144人被裁,令一些员工不满该公司手法“太激进”! 这也使得职总和工会不得不介入,并投票通过授权工会采取必要工业行动,以纠正有关公司的裁员程序。 新航工程在服务之鹰亚洲公司持股达49巴仙,至于飞机引擎制造商普拉特·惠特尼公司(Pratt & Whitney),持股51巴仙。 据职总秘书长黄志明表示,目前该公司与全国职总达成协议,确保裁员中最大程度留下新加坡雇员,外籍雇员也有作适当考量。 他称是在上周接到该公司反映,抨击服务之鹰亚洲公司裁员不公。为此,职总偕同航空职员联合会、新航工程师与执行人员联合会、航空交通执行人员联合会等各造,与有关公司进行谈判。 双方共同审查裁员名单,确保新加坡雇员获得最大限度保护。
