And just how do you suppose are they able to stand firm?
Management doesn't recognize the expats right to be recognized by ALPA-S. If they did it wouldn't matter since by law, expats don't have a vote, unless they are a
PR, then they don't have housing/education allowance.
We could all join ALPA-S as a show of support, (what's your status?), but that gesture would be largely symbolic.
At the end of the day, it's all a matter of who waits out who and what do you agree to in order to maintain labor peace. We (expats) are guest workers who observe the process from the sideline and offer encouragement to those who fight our battles.
I would still rather be on the sidelines in Singapore than anywhere else. JMHO
