THE MWSS WORKERS AND WHY THEY ARE COMPLAINING

THE MWSS WORKERS AND WHY THEY ARE COMPLAINING

I am writing about this again, because the MWSS worker's union have not ceased with their complains....

During GMA's time a driver was given a salary of 97 thousand pesos a month, with hazard pay, housing and car plan.....

Can you imagine how much the clerks, the supervisors and the managers were earning.

The members of the Board of Directors were getting 500 thousand a month, each, I believe.....this they decided on their own....they would hold meetings just to decide how much their salaries should be....then they deemed it right and proper that the staff get enormous salaries as well, so they would not complain....

The question that really begs to be answered is how were they able to get away with this?

Is it really the practice in government agencies that they decide what their salaries should be....shouldn't it be standard for all agencies? 

When this travesty was finally noticed, when GMAs term was ending, this particular woman who was a member of their board of  directors had the audacity to claim that their counterparts in the private sector were earning more than them....

First of all...really?

Second, then why don't you work for them? 

You are in government service, your salary comes from the tax payers, so we have the right to question everything....your salaries, your allowances, your car plans...everything....and you have to take that!

Now, under the new leadership, the salary of the drivers were slashed down to 37 thousand a month....and I assume, all the other salaries for other positions were significantly lowered down.....but basing it on the salary of the drivers...to an amount that is still way higher than the ordinary government employee....and the workers are up in arms!!!

Talaga naman!!! It was a drastic change from buying an SUV, they may now have to settle for ordinary cars....From going to ST. Luke's they may now have to be admitted to other private hospitals....From yearly vacations abroad, they may have to settle to vacations to Boracay....From Louis Vittons, they may have to settle for Secosana .....Kawawa naman sila talaga!

Sana nung kahigante pa ang sahod niyo, nag-ipon kayo, kasi di naman talaga mababawi ito sa inyo....pero nagwaldas kayo na para bang walang bukas...at ngayon nagwawala, samantalang tinatama lang naman ang matagal ng mali. (When your salaries were still gigantic, you should have saved, instead you spent like there were no tomorrows, and now you cry foul when they decide to right something that have been so wrong for so long!)

Walang mali sa mataas na sahod....yan ang hangad natin para sa bawat Pilipino....pero kung 37 thousand ang sahod ng driver, di ba dapat lang na 60 thousand o higit pa rito ang sa teacher, sa nurse, at sa sundalo? ( There is nothing wrong with having a high salary...this is what we desire for every Filipino...but if the driver get's 37 thousand a month, shoudn't the teacher, the nurses, and the soldier be getting 60 thousand or even higher?)

This is not a rich country....we cannot go on this way...more auditing should be done....then get the excess and put them where they really belong...to providing the best education, to giving sincere and complete health care and to defending our country.

Tigilan naman na yung pagrereklamo.....nakakahiya rin naman talaga sa amin!!
