The “tripartite” relationship between the gahmen, the unions and
employers is unique in the sense that the salary of the Labour
Chief keeps spiral upwards while those of the union members keep
sliding downwards.
Good comment, Hit the nail on head
Employers are happy, so
they stay in Singapore till production or manpower costs
rises then shift to China, or wherever cheaper. The
Union leaders hold on to their
positions, raking pay increase until there is no Employers left. Government happy they get their tax
dollars and kickbacks until Employers leave for cheaper ground, might
pull Union leaders to
Government sector if
Employers pull out. Whereas
the workers dont get much pay, dont get much incentives, and when
the Employer pulls out, they
go jobless or switch to lower pay or go to another job with
Union ties. Government rakes the cash from income
tax.
Repeat cycle ad nauseum
