Workers' Party pays their town council cleaners less than $1300



In a video shared by Sure Boh Singapore, a cleaner employed by AHTC said that he is paid $1200 a month before CPF deduction.

This is lower that WP's proposed $1300 min take-home wage.
It is also lower than the minimum wage of $1442 for town council cleaners under the Progressive Wage Model. Underpaid!
Given how WP had argued about a moral imperative to pay workers a minimum take-home pay of $1300, and how it is unacceptable and not justifiable to pay workers any less than $1300, Workers' Party should 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤.
𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬' 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐨.
A minimum take-home pay of $1300 means a gross pay of $1625 (for a worker 55 and younger) or $1900 inclusive of employer's CPF contribution.
You don't need to wait for a min wage law.
