Fiji still has very low minimum wage rate in certain sectors.
This was one of the main issues raised by the keynote speaker Roger La Salle the creator of ‘The Matrix Thinking’ in Australia during the Topex Conference organised by Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation.
Speaking at the Intercontinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa in Natadola today, La Salle stressed that Fiji's current minimum wage rate in certain sectors is similar to China's 20 years ago and countries like Australia have far better minimum wage rates.
Minister for Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Jone Usamate said different countries have different wage rates.
