It will be interesting to see how the management diffuse the
problem.
On the one hand, the government does not want to see a "strike"
in Singspore for fear of losing the investors' confidence and the
government will apply the pressure on SMRT.
On the other hand, the management cannot afford to sack all
these drivers and the management cannot give in to their
demand.
So, how to resolve the problem ?
It could be that the chairman will reprimand the management in a
public statement by saying that the management has not been
sensitive to the feeling of these drivers and SMRT will give them
the same pay rise as the Malaysian workers based on equality and
fairness and at the same time the chairman will warn these drivers
that it is illegal to strike in Singapore without approval from MOM
with at least three week notice in advance and this episode will be
taken as an exception and any further strike will be dealt severely
according to the laws ![]()
can take option B.
cut the snake head firts, then slowly the reminder body to tail
in phases. time enough to effect a containment action.
