Riot police called in for bus drivers strike
AsiaOne | Mon, Nov 26, 2012
SINGAPORE - Police, and their riot trucks, were called in to control a strike staged by some 102 bus drivers earlier today.
The drivers from SMRT did not go to work on Monday morning, but staged a strike at their dormitory in Woodlands instead.
According to Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily News, the drivers, who are all Chinese nationals were not happy about a recent pay increase Malaysian drivers had received.
The Malaysian drivers reportedly got a $275 increment and a month's bonus, while Chinese nationals were paid $75 extra without any bonus.
The Straits Times reported that a SMRT human resource executive tried to resolve the issue but to no avail.
Riot police were then called in.
A spokesperson from SMRT said the company will release a statement later this evening. |
