NTUC must ‘do more and do better’ for PMEs, youth: Ng Chee Meng
SINGAPORE – The National Trades Union Congress must “do more and do better” for professionals, managers and executives , as well as for youth, while building on current efforts to improve workers’ wages and welfare.
“However, in the youth segment, NTUC recognises that we can do more to serve our youth better,” said Mr Ng. The moves to court youth and PMEs are part of a wider revamp of the labour movement’s business, membership and training model over the last four years to keep up with changes in worker demographics and the economy.
The changes have paid dividends in NTUC’s membership, which has grown from 980,000 in 2019 to 1.12 million currently, noted Mr Ng. Mr Ng said that NTUC champions the interests of lower-wage, platform and mature workers, yet maintains industrial peace and adds value for its employer partners. This is in contrast to other parts of the world, where unions and workers go on strike to show their unhappiness.
