Singapore unions say proposed S$1,300 minimum wage not workable, reject WP MP's ‘folksy wisdom’ remarkThe Workers' Party's Assoc Prof Jamus Lim sparks controversy when he referred in Parliament to the views of union leaders as 'folksy wisdom and beliefs.' — TODAY pic
K. Thanaletchmi, president of the Healthcare Services Employees Union, said that the union has been engaging with the hospitals to increase the wages of the sector’s lowest paid workers to S$1,500 through job redesign and the upskilling of its staff. Lim’s comments surfaced during a debate on minimum wage in Parliament last week, when he was responding to NTUC deputy secretary-general Koh Poh Koon.
Lim, who is Member of Parliament for Sengkang Group Representation Constituency, then said that WP’s proposal is based on well-researched academic findings, and not based on “folksy wisdom and beliefs of labour union leaders.”
