PM Lee :"lf the govt follows what people want, then we are failed leaders"
We should invite PM Lee to speak to them.
Ask them to integrate and continue to be cheaper, better and faster.
What do you think ?
It is time for him to show his leadership to the people.
-
No shortage of buses for 913
-
Seem like the 1st question on the mind of the forumers is that their service is not affected instead of the welfare of the drivers.
No wonder the drivers refuse to go to work.
-
No you are wrong.
They are more worried about which service is affected.
And who can identify them.
-
nothing to do w/ PRC driver.. and also... if the kids are more interested to know which are affected, wait till mealbreak period you'll know

SMRT bus drivers who refused to go to work in talks with management
SINGAPORE: Public transport provider SMRT said that it is in talks with its bus drivers who refused to go to work on Monday.
A spokesman for SMRT said the 102 bus drivers involved were from China and their service leaders are currently in talks with SMRT management.
SMRT said earlier reports that nearly 200 bus drivers were involved were incorrect.
Channel NewsAsia understands that the bus drivers had stayed away from work as a result of unhappiness over their pay.
According to residents living in the Woodlands dormitory where the bus drivers are staying, the drivers refused to leave work at 4am on Monday when several SMRT buses arrived at the dormitory to pick them up.
Officials from SMRT headquarters have been at the dormitory since Monday morning and talks began at about 4pm.
About 50 bus drivers are involved in the ongoing discussions.
An SMRT spokesperson said that drivers who were not rostered to work on Monday were requested to work as a result of the no-show by the 102 drivers.
Separately, the National Transport Workers' Union (NTWU) issued a statement that said the union could not represent the affected workers as they were not union members.
NTWU urged the workers involved to return to work immediately and added that the union was prepared to help in negotiations between SMRT management and the workers if both parties welcomed its involvement.
SMRT said that relevant authorities have already been informed about the situation and added that the company has been hiring bus drivers from China since 2008.

it's not ppl give in or what... here who want to do shift work... in fact... which comes to this issue.. is it ok to treat foreign drivers differently w/ vast diff? -
the press refuse to use the word "strike"

Before all of you point fingers at them,
it is stated in other forums:
Increment (May not be truth)
Malaysian: $275 + 1 month bonus
PRC: $75 with no bonus
If you are in their shoe, would you fight for your right since you are doing the same job ?
In fairness, no one would want to cause trouble when you are working oversea.
But, please look at the matter properly before you start to ask them to be deported.
