I am no communist. I believe capitalism works. I do not deny
bosses their big bonuses or salaries for they deserved it if their
management succeeds for they came out with the capital and
took the risks.
All every worker wants is a fair share for their hardwork
pitched in, if not an equitable share. But in this crisis, some
bosses are taking advantage of the situation, to profit fully at
the expense of the workers. THIS MUST STOP!!
I remember back in the old days of the 70s and 80s. My dad was
an employer. He paid fair remuneration for a day's work. Mom would
even bake cakes and bak changs to give to his employees during
festivals and such. New year dinners were compulsory 10 course
affairs. During bad times, my dad made sure everyone of the
employers were paid, even during bonus periods, even if we, his
family had to subsist on porridge and vegetables.
But now it seems such attitudes were lost. We all had gone wrong
somewhere. SMEs were the loudest to scream for help to the govt,
but where slowest to help their own workers.
They would rather spend profits on their mistresses, first class
travel, dine in the best restaurants, splurge on sports cars for
their own sons than to pass some profits back to their workers.
Worse still, some use hire and fire strategies, and push the blame
on society, on workers being choosy or demanding.
No worker seek to disadvantage others, nor do workers want to be
taken advantage of. Similarly for bosses, thus a need to find back
the balance. We dont need confrontational union representation, but
workers sorely need protection against abusive employers, and may
this thread be an expose of such unscrupulous bosses!
