NTUC says wages up but MOM stats show wages down?
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Leong Sze Hian I refer to the article “value every worker to strengthen Singaporean core” (“NTUC This Week, 23 Aug). 18,378 workers had 11% wage increase? It states that “Since the Labour Movement’s launch of the IGP in August 2010, 18,378 workers in the hospitality and consumer business sectors have benefited from 238 job improvements of an average of 11.06 per cent. Waiters’ real wage dropped 11.3%? I believe the most common job in the hospitality sector may be waiters. According to the Ministry of Manpower’s (MOM) occupational wages benching tool, the median basic and gross wage of Waiters in 2012, was $1,100 and $1,291, respectively. In June 2011, their wages were $1,173 and $1,300, respectively, according to the now discontinued annual Report on Wages. Since Inflation from June 2011 to June 2012 was 5.3 per cent, does it mean that their basic and gross wage had negative real median wage growth of about minus 11.3 and 6 per cent, respectively? Security officers’ wages increase? In the same issue of NTUC This Week, the article “Securing the rights of our security officers” said that “With the efforts, Mr Zainal highlighted that the gross wages of security officers have been increased from an average of close to $1,300 in 2008 to $1,600 in 2013″. This works out to an increase of about 23 per cent in five years. More here........http://leongszehian.com/?p=5963 Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com. |
