THE minimum wage should be set based on various aspects, including the job sector, academic qualifications, experience and skills of workers to give justice to all parties, leaders of the country’s two main trade unions said.
National Association of Skilled Workers secretary-general Mohammad Rizan Hassan said giving consideration to academic qualifications alone is impractical and unfair because it can be manipulated by employers by offering low wages to workers with low academic qualifications, but with extensive experience and skills.
