反对最低薪金制人士 敢否直视低收入者眼睛?

上周,工人党议员为捍卫最低薪金制,再度与人民行动党在国会殿堂交锋。国人反对党领袖毕丹星驳斥职总副秘书长许宝琨医生的“政治喊价”论,直言无法接受,我们能容许有国人赚取少过1千300元的薪资。他也质疑,为何在扶助低收入群体上,政府拖沓良久?

盛港集选区议员辣玉莎,也在本月16日在脸书发贴,重申工人党对此议题的立场,同时也分享本身接触低工资群体的经历。辣玉莎提醒,好些低收入人士陷入贫困的无止境循环,无法挣脱。

她也质问那些反对最低薪金制的人士,敢不敢直视那些低工资百姓的眼睛,告诉他们:“赚少过1千300元是合理”的?

她指出,在月薪少过1千300元的10万群体,她曾与其中一些人士共事过,“我进入他们过于拥挤的居所,到他们设立于海滩的帐篷,或是到临时庇护所进行探访,并和他们交流。”

她指出,和他们的交谈中,他们分享了如今各自所面对或有些与众不同的处境,但是大部分人都陷入穷困的永无止境恶性循环中,且无法摆脱。

有些低薪工友前来会见人民活动求助,辣玉莎和志工们都能感受到,他们已”走投无路“。

“我忍不住在想,那些反对最低工资制的人,是否能够看着这些人的眼睛,并对他们说‘每个月赚取少过1300元,是合理的’?我肯定做不到。”

贴文中,辣玉莎指出,疫情当前,也会看到越来越多的市民站出来,声援低收入国人。“虽然目前有更多人处于艰难时期,但是当大多数人的恶劣情况都有好转时,这些低工资员工、失业或半失业的群体是否又会被抛在一旁呢?”

她很坚定地表示,“我不会”。

她在贴文的尾端补充道,作为社会的一份子,我们必须站起来并强调,必须确保国内所有人拥有可维持生活的工资。“这样我们在疫情后,社会不仅能够壮大,还更加公平。”

她的贴文至今已经获得超过1100人反应,84人给出评论,以及203人转发。
