2. "NTUC Foodfare clarifies claims on management of Old Airport Road Hawker Centre
SINGAPORE: NTUC Foodfare on Wednesday (Oct 24) responded to online allegations made against the management of Old Airport Road Hawker Centre (OAHC) in a Facebook post that was widely circulated.
Mr Gary Ho, a regular patron of the hawker centre, posted on Facebookon Tuesday about a series of changes affecting its hawkers.
Mr Ho wrote that he was told by a hawker of a spike in their cleaning fees, as well as new regulations imposed on them, including a requirement to inform the management if they were closing their stall.
"The new contract they signed also mandates that they must stay open for super long hours," he wrote.
"The old hawkers protested to this and are not complying. They said if they force them to open, they might as well close and retire."
On Wednesday afternoon, NTUC Foodfare responded to the allegations, saying that most stalls do not have to stick to the new stipulated opening hours."
What will be will be!! New tender resulted in much higher cleaning charges as ALL competing bids went up n the successful bidder has increased fees of more than 30%!! Looks like something gave!!
WHAT gave should be explained!!
As for demanding 8hrs per day n 1 rest day a week is strange as the hawkers should b able to decide their own working hours since they work for themselves! So, why do they need to be told how many hours to work!!
Another failing why "cost of living went up n up?"
