Pritam Singh's minimum wage call shows he is out of touch with reality



The Leader of the Opposition is out of touch with reality calling for a universal minimum wage at this time of recession when the priority is to save jobs, not calling for a universal minimum wage to lift wages.

Throwing in words like 'moral imperative' and 'national solidarity' do not make the call wise at this time or the timing right.
Even my mother with her folksy wisdom knows that a pay cut may be necessary for her to keep her job.
Employers have been given the green light by the National Wages Council to implement temporary wage cut if it can save jobs.
