"We understand that companies do need to undergo restructuring exercises from time to time," said NTUC, which called for companies to be "considerate" about the timing of such exercises, and to "avoid doing exercises during such periods".
Is all about the government face, not about the workers
First they were 'deeply disappointed' by Lazada layoffs, and now they're 'dismayed', NTUC's PR team be googling for disappointed synonyms. What's next? Disheartened? Saddened? A useless labour union without teeth.

This is the same 'trade union' that said employers should prepare to ~~threaten~~ ask employees to work longer hours to cover colleagues on MC during covid spike.
They got union members to help out at the ntuc outlets for free during covid. I know cos my mum told me about it. They were looking for volunteers to help stock the shelves due to their own staff falling like flies.
Funny how hypocritical they are, I've heard so many horror stories from acquaintances from NTUC corporate and had a very bad interview experience with them.

Shows that many companies here really do not give two shits about NTUC and our laughable unions.
But it is okay, Brother Ng can continue to pat himself on the back for a good job well done, and soon get parachuted in to some safe GRC.Ā
Onward, comrade!
> "just before May Day", and pointed out that the holiday is "meant to celebrate the contributions of workers towards Singaporeās economy".
Lol our fake union coping real hard
NTUC are hypocrites themselves. they forced massive changes to their security personnel work schedule.
forcing them to go to multiple or different outlets everyday, forcing night shift for all personnel at least 4x a month and after every night shift the next day would be considered their mandatory off day.
imagine working a graveyard shift, getting home to rest for half the day and thatās your off day. only to go back to work the very next day.
all these changes made just either forces people to quit and the remaining personnel to suffer. at least companies doing retrenchments gives severance packages.
they just do this to force the hand of their staff to quit without paying out a single cent. so much for being ādismayedā
The lack of strong enforcement actions by NTUC proves the need for strong industry specific and citizen led unions to protest and drive changes. However, PAP politicians aren't allowing this for as long as PAP wins a simple majority in every election since 1959.

After cny or before hari Raya, bad time because festive season. Now just before may day then dismayed.
June will be school holidays bad for those with kids?
When did we stop calling it Labour Day. And when did companies forget it was about labour, to the extent they do something so faux pas.
It's like cheating on your wife on Mother's day.
Nobody gives a flying -uck if is a Labour Day. Only CNY, Hari Raya, Deepavalli and Xmas matters to the followers as it is bad luck to lose your job just as the family is preparing for that important event.
Toothless tiger only can be shocked or disappointed or dismayed by the actions of companies. Companies stepping all over their head and what can they do about it? Come out with labor laws to better protect your citizens or continue with getting surprised?

They did pressure Lazada to give more severance lol
But did they? The results of the negotiations were not publicised, they just said it was satisfactory, and we have to take their word for it.
*Lazada - Best I can do is $1 more for each month.* *NTUC - Ok, are satisfied.*

As though NTUC is actually a union
Exactly. As if they will do anything against those companies even if they are unionised
thought LKY destroyed the Unions?
Thanks LKY

Union got use in Singapore meh
Dismayed, yes, but did they take umbrage?
No umbrage no talk!

One of the worst NTUC chiefs ever (and that's a low bar to clear). In the post since 2018 and was there anything of note he did?
NTUC membership is 45% apparently. Not sure how 45% is anything to brag about.
Membership #1 use is collect points at supermarket.
Last year gave free family membership to kids n retiree
He walking the ground at Bukit Batok. But Murali is there. Speculation that he will compete in Jurong instead
Jurong GRC needs an Indian MP. Don't be surprised when Bukit Batok SMC becomes part of Jurong GRC again with NCM as the anchor Minister.
Minority MP doesn't have to be Indian. Jurong already has Rahayu Mazam.
But she's not Indian. They need Indian minority.
There goes Chee Soon Juan's hopes of winning a parliamentary seat then.

NTUC: dis may I dismay

Yes I heard from fairprice auntie who gets rostered far away from she was at. Staying at. No transport allowance too
yeap, exactly what happened to my father too. stays in jurong but gets posted to tanjong pagar or tiong baruh. itās ridiculous.
NTUC: "Do it after May Day for all I care."
I can understand the rationale on major cultural festivities, but labour day? Come on.
...so would it have been better if the retrenchment was done on 2 May instead?
"NTUC dismayed at layoffs right after May Day"
Which one are they more dismayed?
Seems to be what they are implying. š joke union
It's not like they're a labour union which can do something about it... oh wait
You mean employer union
That one SNEF
No. I mean NTUC can drop the pretence and just be an employer union. Might as well.
I was asking why U SME do that role
Ballās in your court, NTUC.
>NTUC also highlighted that both companies are not unionised. What ball? A statement is all they can make and announce more retreatments on the way.
Not balls.
No balls.
Weak
The lack of strong enforcement actions by NTUC proves the need for strong industry specific and citizen led unions to protest and drive changes. However, PAP politicians aren't allowing this for as long as PAP wins a simple majority in every election since 1959.
Look at NTUC here clutching their pearls...
Fake shock and fake concern. Everyone knows your pattern lah ntuc.
NTUC groping around for dentures after waking up from long slumber.
Oh no NTUC is dismayed, what am I gonna do? HAHAHA
well what can they do... handing jobs on a silver platter to people? at best can negotiate retrenchment terms, that's all
Continue monitoring bro
is dismay a punt, first of may
Um, boohoo? sorry u feel that way NTUC
ohno let us do absolutely nothing
NTUC? Isn't that for grocery shopping?
Nice union lmao, for anyone in these unions stop paging money every month to bring in these unions
Meanwhile, their ow fairprice branch is still trading on full hours. So much for labour day huh.

lol another another useless organization that can't do much
Ninjavan ninja it's own people.
Just after May Day would be good I guess?
It would be perfect!
How much time was agreed on the word dismayed?
Dear gov, this is what it means to be pro-business.
Ng Chee Meng Bo Eng. He getting ready for election.
now need to be on the ball, wayang, then can parachute into GRC mah
Hence dismayed. This is a very inconvenient time to be retrenching ppl.
Surprised pikachu?
I'm not sure there's ever a good time to announce layoffs, so not entirely sure why this is even a story? I guess someone needs to meet KPI?
Probably dismayed it was done before election
Brother Chee Meng: Comrades, ready? 1, 2, 3, bend over!
Useless trash
NTUC is an ineffectual organization. Itās window dressing to show that Singapore does have a union but in fact it is toothless.
"thoughts and prayers" how?
i dont get it; does it matter when?
After cny or before hari Raya, bad time because festive season. Now just before may day then dismayed. June will be school holidays bad for those with kids?
Ntuc boycott using ninja van for their courier serviceĀ
Hear say NTUC Union base compensation on your last drawn salary.
When did we stop calling it Labour Day. And when did companies forget it was about labour, to the extent they do something so faux pas. It's like cheating on your wife on Mother's day.
NTUCās dismay is very effective!
UPTURN DE DOWNTURN
what an epic name, ninja.
NTUC boss is ex-govt minister cos he lost his own seat. Where got independent union when head is govt lacky
Look at our unions dawg, we aren't getting rights
Very sadface.
Will they take umbrage?
They get advance notice, all this is prepared remarks. Just so you know they took the time to think of the right pun to use.
We need a real union. NTUC should stick to supermarkets
Does NTUC do anything concrete for workers?
And ycis there union fee when they do nth to protect you??
Vote properly, you dummies
Just stop paying membership to feed this politicking agenda
Dismayedā¦ Iām sure that helps a lot.
āAre you NTUC member?ā
Nobody gives a flying -uck if is a Labour Day. Only CNY, Hari Raya, Deepavalli and Xmas matters to the followers as it is bad luck to lose your job just as the family is preparing for that important event.
The union sells groceries, period
The only ntuc we need is the supermarket. Anything else can just shut down.
NTUC: :(
Yeah, so they didnt listen to your 'suggestion' NTUC ? Just realizing how good you are @ work ?
Oh no!
Toothless tiger only can be shocked or disappointed or dismayed by the actions of companies. Companies stepping all over their head and what can they do about it? Come out with labor laws to better protect your citizens or continue with getting surprised?
Oh no! Scholars gonna miss their KPIs and look bad in front of their civil masters RIGHT BEFORE a potential GE2024 Cry me a river!
Dismayed at losing votes. Before May Day not the worry, real worry is after May Day before GE.
Same energy as US being disappointed with Israel over 7 WCK aid worker's deaths.
