败选后 黄志明才想起该收紧就业准证?
据了解,全国职工总会秘书长黄志明坦言,针对外籍人士在本地就业,国人的焦虑确有提升,也建议政府或应缩紧就业准证(Employment Pass)政策。
他在前日接受《海峡时报》采访,声称职总就业保障联盟(Job Security Council)迄今协助超过2万工友,在疫情下匹配到新工作。
与此同时,他仍强调建设和扩张新加坡经济牵涉国人利益,仍需要外籍人士的技术和才能,来增强本地劳动力。
他也指若就业竞争某种程度上变得激烈,政府理应出台政策来保障国人能公平地取得好工作。
黄志明原是总理公署部长,在2020选举,偕同原交通部兼卫生部高级政务部长蓝彬明医生、内政部兼卫生部高级政务次长安宁·阿敏等人,上阵盛港集选区,惟不敌工人党何廷儒团队败选。
据了解,在选举之前,黄志明鲜少有提及,有关调整或缩紧外籍人士就业政策的建议。
全国工资理事会将召开第二次会议,黄志明则希望该理事会能尽量保住就业,保障特别是低薪工友群体的福利。
有鉴于冠病疫情对经济的影响,他预计未来半年至一年,失业仍会持续攀升。
职总在上月推出公平裁员框架,并声称保障职场的新加坡核心,惟拥有关键技术的外籍人士也能留下。
