 Our Unions Work and Fight For Us A logistics company in Metal Industries Workers’ Union terminated 24 employees late last year... 
... and refused to pay retrenchment benefits. Mangement claimed that it was a case of termination and not redundancy because the affected employees were poor performers. Union disagreed with management because the claim of poor performance could not be substantiated and the number of employees involved made it unusual as a normal performance related issue.
Union escalated the case to the Ministry of Manpower under disguised retrenchment.
Although she was being paid 2 months’ salaries as compensation, she was denied maternity benefits.  Betty’s union intervened on her behalf to negotiate with the employer.
