[BREAKING] SWISS standard minimum wage = $25/hour

[Potato_Wedges]

(CNN)Voters in Geneva, Switzerland, have agreed to introduce a minimum wage in the canton that is the equivalent of $25 an hour -- believed to be the highest in the world.

According to government data, 58% of voters in the canton were in favor of the initiative set the minimum wage at 23 Swiss francs an hour, which was backed by a coalition of labor unions and aimed at "fighting poverty, favoring social integration, and contributing to the respect of human dignity."

While Switzerland has no national minimum wage law, Geneva is the fourth of 26 cantons to vote on the matter in recent years after Neuchâtel, Jura and Ticino.

"This new minimum wage will apply to about 6% of the canton's workers as of November 1st," Geneva State Counselor Mauro Poggia told CNN in a statement.

Communauté genevoise d'action syndicale, the umbrella organization of unions in Geneva, described the result as "a historic victory, which will directly benefit 30,000 workers, two-thirds of whom are women."

This is the real Swiss Standard!

$25/hr = $25 X 8 hours X 25 days = $5000 a month salary!

I think to be fair. Singapore is an ad hoc lifestyle kind of country. Everything got 1x to 100x. If you don't have 100x pay but want to lead a 100x expense. Of course u can't breathe.

1x - Cai peng (3 bucks) 100x - omakase (300 bucks)
1x - take public transport (2 bucks), 100x - drive rolls royce (200 bucks)

So u earn 100x and spend/live like 1x. U will see a lot of surplus.

Have you ever been to Switzerland? Everything there is freaking expensive. Even fast food. No denying life in Switzerland is way better than Singapore but comparing wages is just retarded.

And by the way, Oz minimum wage is ~$20 an hour, and cost of living there is cheaper than Switzerland by at least 50%.

 

[alamakazim]

Well we should have maximum wages

 

[wwenze]

but did u know hw much tax rate is the swiss personal income tax?

I don't know what alternate universe you living in, eat at restaurant once in a while? All my friends go out jiak restaurant or cafe like once every few days. Just see the lines outside those restaurants on the weekends, and you telling me sinkies go out eat 'once in awhile'?
