SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said it has resolved the employment disputes involving some 200 People's Republic of China (PRC) workers and their employers.
224 PRC workers who had employment disputes with their employers, Zhonghe Huaxing Development Pte Ltd and China Nuclear Industry Huaxing Construction Co Ltd, have accepted a settlement, following MOM's intervention.
171 workers have decided to continue working in Singapore, while the rest have decided to return to China.
Two remaining workers, who declined to accept the settlement, would have their claims adjudicated by the Labour Court.
On December 30 last year, the PRC work permit holders approached the ministry for assistance over their employment disputes with their employers.
The key issues involved salary disputes from September to November 2008, and unhappiness with employers for attempting to revise certain employment terms.
MOM has advised workers who have disputes or grievances with their employers to report the matter to the ministry and allow the matter to be mediated or adjudicated in the Labour Court.
The ministry and the police would not hesitate to take firm action if any laws are violated.
