The picture says it all. The service workers at UCLA had been on strike for a week already and today is the last day. This is something that doesn't happen in Singapore but I don't find it fun or interesting. This is because service workers include the canteen staff and the strike affects me adversely. My meals this week have decreased both in quantity and quality because of the strike. The mealtime hours have been reduced and the quality of food is lowered because temps are hired to cook. I think the strike is ridiculous. Their wages now are at a minimum of 10 US dollars. 10 US dollars to do cleaning, cooking, washing and other menial chores. It translates to 14 Singapore dollars. And they are hankering for more. I think strikes are very disruptive. There will never be an end to strikes because Man is never satisfied. If for the selfish interests of a few, the society has to suffer, I think it is very unjust. Unless the workers are really being exploited, I don't think there's any reason not to go to work. If they are unhappy, they can always switch jobs. A mass movement of uncooperation causes a lot of inconvenience, and in some cases may even endanger lives, as the service workers in this case includes hospital care staff as well. I certainly hope the strike ends on today as stated.
