My wife has rejoin the work force by joining NTUC Supermarket as a part time cashier. But her experience as a NTUC Cashier was disappointing. She work part time for 6 hours and she was not given a 15 mins break except toilet break. She went through the 6 hours without meal except for the food taken before start of work.

NTUC should be a role model for the industry and should take care of cashiers standing at their tills. Would our Singapore Minister stand at NTUC Supermarket cashier tills for 4 hours without a small break.

Efforts must also be made to take care of our workers if we except them to be more productive. European staff are given 15 mins break regardless on whether your are full or part time staff.
