NTUC Social Enterprises Vision 2015 - What’s Next In The Horizon The NTUC SEs will embark on a new vision, built on the frm foundation of the social impact that they already deliver today. This vision is a collective commitment by NTUC SEs to expand their social impact in response to enduring needs and emergent ones of the diverse population of all collars, ages and nationalities. In doing so, they will adopt three strategic thrusts. Firstly, NTUC SEs will rapidly scale up so that they would be able to keep prices stable for even more customers. Bigger scale will enable NTUC SEs to enjoy greater cost advantages which can be passed back to customers, either in the form of lower prices or better quality, and maximise their social impact. Secondly, NTUC SEs will strive to make breakthroughs in developing new approaches to meet new and emergent needs. NTUC SEs need to be responsive to changing aspirations, and break new ground to meet these needs. Last but not least, NTUC SEs will look into expanding their products and service offerings to support 3-generational families to care for their young and old. NTUC SEs will aim to enable access to affordable, quality products and services that help stretch the dollar, time and employability of working people in Singapore. Through this, NTUC SEs will be able to make a greater impact on the lives of working families in Singapore. 124-127_SE look forwards KHL.indd 127 124-127_SE look forwards KHL.indd 127 4/20/11 12:14 AM 4/20/11 12:14 AM 126 SOCIAL REPORT CARD - ACHIEVEMENTS including health supplements, over-the-counter medication, skincare and personal hygiene products, at the best price possible. e) NTUC Foodfare introduced the NTUC Value Meal initiative in May 2010 for NTUC members, who save between 5 to 20 per cent off the normal price when they purchase any of NTUC Foodfare’s Value Meals at its six food courts. More than 290,000 Value Meals were consumed in 2010 by NTUC members who enjoyed savings of about 120,000. Providing Value For Customers Thirdly, NTUC SEs fnd ways to create value for their customers. For instance, NTUC FairPrice has been rapidly expanding its housebrand products that give customers more value for money than national brands. These housebrand products are on average at least 10 per cent cheaper than comparable national brands. NTUC FairPrice customers saved 27 million in 2010 by buying its housebrands instead of equivalent national brands. For example, NTUC FairPrice’s housebrand, the popular Thai Hom Mali Rice A, is cheaper than the national brand equivalent. NTUC FairPrice is able to pass on these savings to customers through direct sourcing and bulk purchasing. The over 2 million customers of the NTUC SEs understand the value that the SEs deliver and the price moderation role that they play. In addition to these three key approaches, NTUC SEs also provide support for the lower-income segment through corporate social responsibility programmes. Doing Their Part In Corporate Social Responsibility Some NTUC SEs have in place specifc initiatives to help ease the burden for the lower-income segment. For example, the Bright Horizons Fund administered by NTUC First Campus helps children from lower-income families continue their pre-school education and level up with their peers. In 2010, the fund provided assistance to more than 150 families. It also supported 186 children in the Read-To-Reach Programme and 17 children in the Therapy Outreach Programme for Pre-Schoolers (TOPPS). Through the annual Family Recreation and Fun (FRF) Carnivals, NTUC Club brings 1.5 million worth of privileges to lower-income NTUC members and their families. NTUC Income established OrangeAid (OA) in 2010, a corporate social responsibility initiative to beneft youths and children, especially the disadvantaged. Benefciaries of OA include the Moral Home for Disabled, Singapore Children’s Society and Assumption Pathway School. NTUC Income commits 1 per cent of its annual operating profts to OA, which amounted to some 1.6 million in 2010. NTUC Income also launched the Income Family Micro-Insurance Scheme (IFMIS), a free insurance plan which pays out 5,000 in the event of Death or Total and Permanent Disability of the main caregiver. IFMIS benefts 13,000 lower-income households and some 18,000 young children under the MCYS ComCare Grow schemes and will cost 0.5 million over three years. NTUC FairPrice launched NTUC FairPrice Foundation in 2008 with the objective of providing a better life for the community. To date, the Foundation has donated more than 26 million to the community, primarily to help lower-income families meet their daily needs. In addition to these initiatives, NTUC SEs also actively contribute to the U Care Fund, in support of the Labour Movement’s core programmes such as the U Stretch vouchers, Back to School vouchers, bursaries and scholarships as well as donations to the Bright Horizons Fund and the Eldercare Trust Fund. In 2010, the NTUC SEs collectively contributed a total of 6.3 million to the U Care Fund which helped over 110,000 lower-income NTUC members and their families. Striving For Excellence NTUC SEs not only strive to maximise social impact, they strive to deliver it with excellence. In this respect, NTUC SEs received several accolades in recognition of their business excellence efforts in 2010. In line with its mission to be the best place to shop, NTUC FairPrice launched its new service motto to re-124-127_SE look forwards KHL.indd 126 124-127_SE look forwards KHL.indd 126 4/20/11 12:14 AM 4/20/11 12:14 AM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 125 LinkPoints, Rebates, Cash Bonuses And Direct Price Discounts Secondly, in addition to attractive pricing, NTUC SEs offer LinkPoints, rebates, cash bonuses and direct price discounts. In 2010, the NTUC SEs collectively gave out 80 million worth of these. Some of the top contributors were: a) NTUC FairPrice gave out 32 million in rebates to its members in 2010. b) NTUC Link issued 20 million worth of LinkPoints to its 1 million members through their Plus! rewards programme. Members were able to use LinkPoints to offset new purchases, and also redeem a range of high-value items such as iPads, iPhones and travel packages at a fraction of the retail price in various “LinkPoints is better than Cash” promotional initiatives. Those carrying Plus! VISA payment cards enjoyed even more savings via various discounts on everyday needs such as petrol, healthcare, entertainment and dining. c) In conjunction with its 40th anniversary, NTUC Income gave out 8.6 million in special cash bonuses to 250,000 long-standing life policyholders as appreciation of their loyalty. It also gave out 1.5 million of direct discounts for special group policies taken by NTUC members, such as LUV, GIFT and WISE. d) NTUC members using NTUC Club’s recreation facilities enjoyed some 10 million worth of direct discounts and privileged pricing.

These needs include: • supporting families to manage their daily cost of living, in groceries, cooked food and pharmaceuticals • supporting families to build a more secure future, through insurance, regular savings, and continuing education and training • supporting families to care for themselves and their dependents, through childcare, eldercare, social and recreational services Secondly, NTUC SEs deliver their products and services through fnancially sustainable and proftable business models. NTUC SEs need to ‘Do Well’ fnancially. They need to be proftable and sustainable in order to re-invest to improve quality and reach more customers. However, NTUC SEs do not seek to maximise profts or shareholders returns. This is the reason why they are able to deliver social impact through their affordable pricing strategy. Extensive Reach And Impact Today Today, NTUC SEs collectively employ about 13,000 staff, serving an estimated 2 million customers a year. Over the years, a number of the NTUC SEs have grown to become market leaders in their respective industries. Some examples include NTUC FairPrice in grocery retailing, NTUC Income in life, annuities, health and motor insurance, NTUC First Campus in early childhood education and care, and NTUC LearningHub in continuing education and training. NTUC SEs meet customers’ needs for quality and accessibility at an affordable price, for a wide range of goods and services, and do so in three key ways. Setting Benchmark Pricing Firstly, the NTUC SEs set benchmark prices for key essential products so that more families would fnd them affordable and good value for money. For example, the estimated 1.2 million customers who bought about 780 million worth of NTUC Income’s life, health and motor insurance policies in 2010 saved 37 million, given NTUC Income’s attractive pricing vis-à-vis comparable products from the market. Similarly, NTUC FairPrice sets competitive prices for its 500 popular Every Day Low Price items. NTUC First Campus sets fees for My First Skool affordably, at about 10 per cent below the national median. For NTUC SEs with sizeable market share, their pricing strategy has an impact on the general price level of the industry. For example, during the rice crisis in 2008 where global rice prices sky-rocketed, NTUC FairPrice took the lead to drop prices. This sent a price signal to the industry. During the SARS crisis in 2003, NTUC FairPrice also held the prices of eggs and vegetables stable. This has helped keep its competitors on their toes and reduce opportunities for profteering.

Corporatised in 2004, it was initially set up in 1982 as the NTUC Computer Training Centre, a division within the Skills Development Department of the NTUC. As it grew, NTUC LearningHub has transformed to meet the training needs of the Singapore workforce and help it adapt to the ever-changing business environment. 122-123_SE story KHL.indd 123 122-123_SE story KHL.indd 123 4/20/11 12:03 AM 4/20/11 12:03 AM 122 SOCIAL REPORT CARD – HISTORY Making Social Impact Right FromThe Start The idea for NTUC Social Enterprises (SEs) was one of the primary programmes put forward at the landmark “Trade Union Seminar on Modernisation of the Labour Movement” in 1969 in a bid to transform the Labour Movement into more than just a bargaining institution. In the 1970s, the SEs were established with the purpose of fulflling a genuine social need. In the course of over 40 years, some SEs have ceased operations, corporatised and evolved to meet changing times and needs. Those that are part of the NTUC family today continue to carry out the founding mission and are going one step further to grow bigger to maximise social impact. NTUC Income, for example, was set up in 1970 to provide affordable insurance for ordinary workers as they were not adequately served by private insurance companies then. NTUC Income has come a long way; it is now the leading life, annuities, health and motor insurer today, and remains committed to its social role in providing essential insurance cover which is accessible and affordable to the population. Next came NTUC FairPrice, which was frst started in 1973 as NTUC Welcome, to help check profteering during the oil crisis of the same year. In 1983, NTUC Welcome merged with the Singapore Employees Cooperative Limited, which ran a chain of supermarkets, coffee shops and home appliance stores, to become NTUC FairPrice. Today, NTUC FairPrice is the leading grocery retailer in Singapore with the unique social mission of moderating the cost of living in Singapore, helping all its customers to stretch their dollar. Another NTUC SE that continues to uphold its founding values is NTUC Foodfare. It was established in 1995 to stabilise cooked food prices in the wake of public concerns about rising prices of cooked food in hawker centres following the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). While its chain of neighhourhood coffee shops and foodcourts strives to keep food prices in check today, NTUC Foodfare is also providing a pricing benchmark for the industry to follow. Throughout the years, there have also been NTUC SEs that served to meet workforce-related needs. NTUC First Campus is a good example. Originally incorporated as NTUC Childcare in 1977, it was set up to provide affordable childcare services in order to encourage more women to remain in the workforce. While it remains committed to serve the heartlanders, it has since created two new brands – The Little Skool-House International and The Caterpillar’s Cove – to appeal to other segments of the population. 122-123_SE story KHL.indd 122 122-123_SE story KHL.indd 122 4/20/11 12:03 AM 4/20/11 12:03 AM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 121 Ng Ser Miang Member Chua Cher Choon Member Ng Kee Choe Member Tan Kian Chew Member May Ng Member Kee Teck Koon Member Tan Hwee Bin Member The Social Enterprise Development Council (SEDC) was formed in January 2007 to provide a stronger push in developing the NTUC Social Enterprises to be best-in-class.

Helping Families • Family Recreation & Fun Carnivals: 1 million worth of recreation packages were extended to more than 10,000 families for a day of fun at Downtown East. • U Stretch Vouchers: close to 1 million worth of vouchers were distributed to over 31,000 members to help them cope with rising costs of daily necessities. Children • Back to School Vouchers: Over 3.7 million worth of vouchers were given out to some 30,000 school-going children of members to help them defray the cost of school supplies for the new school year. • Bursary and Scholarship Top-Up: Over 0.5 million was extended to unions to provide additional funding support for bursaries and scholarships, which benefted more than 7,000 students. • Bright Horizons Fund: 1 million was contributed to help young children from low-income families attend pre-school. Elderly • Eldercare Trust: A total of 1 million was given out to assist the elderly in daycare services and wellness programmes. 2011: The Labour Movement will continue its efforts to help our members in need and aims to disburse 11.7 million in assistance programmes to potentially help over 130,000 low-income members and their families. needs are also quite high; sometimes there are activities held overseas that require more money. “We are very thankful for the Back to School vouchers because cash is normally used up very fast. When we received the vouchers, the children told me they need new spectacles. So straightaway, we went to the optical shop, which also awarded us with LinkPoints. Furthermore, the U Stretch vouchers came in very handy at FairPrice. They are like the ‘bread-and-butter’ for my household; they are good for groceries and basic needs in our household expenditure.” Said NTUC Care and Share Director Zainudin Nordin, whose department handles the U Care Fund: “Though our economy has recovered strongly from the last downturn, the current concerns of our members and workers are very much related to infation and rising costs of living. Together with NTUC’s affliated unions and association, NTUC Social Enterprises and our tripartite partners, we hope to improve their lives through the U Care Fund. It is our endeavour to continuously work together as a caring Labour Movement.” Mr Shahiful added that while the assistance is useful to cope with diffcult times, he and his wife are not getting complacent for the long haul. “We have to be realistic in the sense that when we ask for help, it is not a matter of simply saying we are unable to cope. In life, there are always ups and downs. There are also bound to be times in life where we are down and out. It is a matter of asking for help when we really need to. But you don’t just cling on to that help alone because it is just a temporary solution. We must work hard towards a long term solution.” “We have to be realistic... when we ask for help, it is not a matter of simply saying we are unable to cope... We must work hard towards a long-term solution.” Mr Shahiful Bahri Abdullah, 43, Technician 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 117 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 117 4/19/11 11:56 PM 4/19/11 11:56 PM 116 GROWING LABOUR MOVEMENT Silver Lining In The Downturn Mr Shahiful Bahri Abdullah, a 43-year-old technician from EPCOS Singapore, is the sole breadwinner of his family of fve, with three school-going children. During the downturn, he sought assistance from the U Care Fund to help his family cope. “The economy was not very good in 2009 and my salary at my previous job was half of what I am getting now. It was diffcult to cope, especially when I was the only one earning. My wife had not been working for many years because she was caring for our children. She only started working as a production operator this year. “With my children still in school, the expenses for my household were on the high side. It was until recently, when I found a new job at another manufacturing company, that there was a bit of breathing space due to a pay increase of around 30 per cent. Gradually, I was able to manage the fnances again.” Thankfully, he was able to count on the U Care Fund to provide some much needed fnancial relief to tide him through the downturn. With the support from his union, the United Workers of Electronics and Electrical Industries (UWEEI), Mr Shahiful and his family received a total of 705 from the U Care Fund last year. This included 375 worth of Back to School vouchers for his three children, a 200 scholarship for one of his children, 30 worth of U Stretch vouchers, and a 100 family package for the Family Recreation & Fun Carnival. “It can be tough-going with three children, especially in terms of meeting their needs. Sometimes, they look at their friends who may have better quality shoes which we cannot afford.

The loyal NTUC member said: “The Grandstand tickets were partially sold out by the time we got to know about the offer initially. Out of the blue, I received an email informing us that there were still tickets on sale at 20 per cent discount. It was good timing indeed.” Without hesitation, Mr Jain purchased fve tickets in all. Finally, he could relish the moment of watching the race ‘live’ with his father, eldest son Rishabh and two other family friends! He said: “My dad is not so particularly crazy about the Grand Prix but he wanted to see what the whole excitement and hype was about, so he came from India to join us. The experience was incomparable to watching it on the television. It was just unbelievable to witness the speed and noise ‘live’.” Commenting on the special offer, Mr Jerry Goh, Deputy Director of NTUC’s Membership department said: “We know that the Formula 1 Grand Prix is a big annual event in Singapore and it will be good for our members to experience it. Some of them may not be able to afford it. So we broke it down into smaller packages for all to enjoy. We are the only ones in Singapore who sold the tickets for all three days at discounted rates. We will continue to work with other merchants to bring about such benefts to our members.” Totally Thrilled WithMy UMembership As long time NTUC members, the great chance for the Jain family to enjoy the race was a sweet reward for their loyalty. Over the years, they have accumulated a large number of LinkPoints from regular purchases at NTUC FairPrice and other participating merchants. Mr Jain’s wife, Mrs Mamta Jain, 35, explained: “This is our 11th year in Singapore and we have been members for about seven years. The prices in FairPrice are very competitive and there is a wide range of products available, from groceries to household items, and even footwear. “In fact, I have asked all my friends to become members too. We have a very huge Indian community in our residential estate and we are very closely knitted, so I keep advising them to sign up for the membership and enjoy the benefts.” Mr Jain hopes that in the future, there will also be promotions for arts performances that he and his family will get to attend together. “It will defnitely attract non-members to take up the membership!” he quipped. Growing LM As the key voice for workers in Singapore, the Labour Movement aims to reach out to workers of All Collars, Ages, and Nationalities (“All C.A.N.”), and all three Generations of workforce - workers of yesterday, today and tomorrow. With vibrant Membership Communities such as nEbO, Young NTUC, U Family and U Live, we strive to embrace our members in a Community for Life, with seamless transition from one community to the next. NTUC members get to enjoy a wide range of lifestyle and social privileges, in addition to workplace representation and professional development opportunities. We also create memorable experiences for our members through membership communities and events. Our membership grew at the fastest pace in recent years to achieve 615,000 members in 2010. We aim to have one million members by 2015.

It aims to grow its PMET membership through profession-based communities or professional chapters in unions, partnerships with professional associations, and web-based and new media communities on NTUC’s U Portal and FaceBook page. Professional Chapters ESU Professional Chapter for Early Childhood Educators (PCECE) The PCECE is an initiative by the Labour Movement and spearheaded by the ESU. It was launched in 2010 with the aims of promoting greater professional development and networking opportunities for early childhood educators. ESU continues to collaborate and strengthen relations with NTUC Social Enterprises such as NTUC First Campus, NTUC LearningHub and key industry stakeholders to improve the image, professionalism and qualifcations of educators, as well as continue to promote fair salary and employment terms. The aim of the chapter is to get the members to be Future Ready through a holistic suite of employment-related advice and assistance, professional development opportunities with recognised training institutes, industry networking opportunities, and lifestyle benefts. The PCECE has also served as an effective conduit to introduce more members to the union. ESU has been directly servicing the needs of union members in the pre-school sector since the PCECE formed and has seen its PME membership in the pre-school sector grow from 1,927 to 7,830 members in 2010. ESU looks forward to greater growth in 2011. UWEEI Engineering Professional Community (EPC) Launched on 22 January 2011, the UWEEI EPC was a venture into a growing segment within the electronics industry employment landscape. Out of 54,000 members, 16,000, or a third of UWEEI’s members were PMEs. The EPC was a way to meet the unique needs of PME members and to reach out to new members. Besides focusing on workplace advice and executive representation, the Community has also organised numerous social and recreational activities such as networking sessions, movie events, and training fairs to provide executives an array of benefts at work, live and play. PMEs in UWEEI EPC can look forward to: • Enriching their careers. • Getting Empowered to handle workplace issues. • Experiencing a wide range of recreational activities and privileges. 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 111 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 111 4/19/11 11:54 PM 4/19/11 11:54 PM 110 GROWING LABOUR MOVEMENT As an Infant Educarer, professional growth is an important aspect of Ms Jessica Marie Martin’s career. It allows her to provide the best for the children under her care at Pat’s Schoolhouse (Baby Haven). The 24-year-old former Assistant Nurse looks forward to platforms and courses that can help to expand her horizons in the pre-school sector. One of the ways she has been able to achieve this is through the Professional Chapter for Early Childhood Educators (PCECE). Initiated by the Labour Movement and spearheaded by the Education Services Union (ESU) in December 2009, the PCECE is a frst-of-its-kind profession-based community specially created for early childhood educators in Singapore AProfessional Boost For Educational Gains to provide them with a holistic suite of services. As part of the PCECE’s commitment towards professional development, ESU sponsored Ms Martin’s participation in the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Annual Conference and Expo in Anaheim, California, in November 2010. Ms Martin had won the Outstanding Infant Educarer Award at the MCYS Child Care Awards 2010. The Conference is the largest early childhood education conference in the world, where educators can attend, engage and learn from presentations, workshops and exhibitions. This has beneftted her greatly. She said: “The conference helped me a lot because I learnt about things which I did not know prior to the event.” For example, she learnt that engaging infants who are less than a year old with music can stimulate their mind, contrary to the practice of introducing music to a child at the age of three or four. At the PCECE’s frst anniversary celebration, themed ‘Jamboree 2011 – Passport to a Professional U’, Ms Martin was invited as a guest speaker to share the experiences she gained at the NAEYC Annual Conference and Expo. She introduced new perspectives that could be implemented by the early childhood education industry in Singapore. “We had some participants from the Singapore American School and they came up to me and said that they were very glad that I highlighted a lot of the methods used in the United States. They hoped that some of the things that I shared could be used in the local pre-schools as well,” she said. Through such initiatives by the PCECE, Ms Martin has gained more exposure and knowledge on industry practices. She feels that it will also build up the reputation and perception of infant care as there are parents who may not have a clear understanding of what it is essentially about. It also raises the quality of early childhood educators as she is able to share her insights with them. To beneft more members the way it did Ms Martin, the PCECE will continue to provide professional development opportunities, training support and exclusive discounts for members. ESU General Secretary Lee Siew Chuan said: “ESU’s Professional Chapter offers a suite of Work, Live, Play and Learn benefts that are highly relevant to the needs of early childhood educators in Singapore. A testament to this is the Professional Chapter’s steady growth over the past year and positive inroads made in the early childhood education community. Today, more than seven in 10 early childhood professionals in the industry are Professional Chapter members.” 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 110 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 110 4/19/11 11:54 PM 4/19/11 11:54 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 109 “Our long-term goal is for AREU to be the key strategic partner for workers, companies and government agencies in the attractions, resorts and entertainment industry.” Mr Charles Khng, AREU General Secretary 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 109 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 109 4/19/11 11:53 PM 4/19/11 11:53 PM 108 GROWING LABOUR MOVEMENT Re-creatingAUnion To Serve RecreationWorkers As Singapore gears up to be a leisure and entertainment hub in the coming years, maintaining a strong and capable workforce in the sector is important to keeping the industry up and running. To cater to workers in this emerging industry, the Attractions, Resorts & Entertainment Union (AREU) was formed on 16 January 2010 to represent employees in the leisure and wildlife attractions, entertainment and lifestyle services, arts and cultural activities, and resorts. AREU was born after the NTUC Club Staff Union (NCSU) was restructured into an industry union. Previously, NCSU solely represented employees in NTUC Club and its subsidiaries. Restructuring from a house union to an industry union required a new constitution and endorsement from the members through a ballot. AREU General Secretary Charles Khng recalled: “With the strong support from the Executive Committee, I took the lead and worked closely with NTUC and our various stakeholders. This means getting members’ support and communicating to management partners so that we can achieve it together.” Members were informed about the change at a General Meeting and they were overwhelmingly supportive of the restructuring. This would not have been possible without the support of unions such as Singapore Industrial & Services Employees’ Union (SISEU) and Food, Drinks and Allied Workers’ Union (FDAWU) as they transferred some of their relevant branches and members to AREU. It was a diffcult but necessary move for the long-term interest of the members and workers. Mr Khng said: “We would like to salute the contributing unions for their support. Furthermore, both unions partnered AREU and took concerted efforts to engage the members on the transfer way before the exercise commenced. This helped the members to better understand the rationale of the transfer and support it.” With a new union that is specifc to the industry, the unique needs and challenges faced by workers and employers in the industry would be better addressed. As a growing industry, it generally faces challenges in enhancing service level and flling up job vacancies. AREU plans to partner industry players and government agencies to share the best practices and develop a more service-oriented culture within the sector which will ultimately beneft its members and workers. AREU and its branches are also working closely with NTUC’s e2i (Employment and Employability Institute) to overcome the challenges of flling up some of the jobs available and enhancing staff retention. Mr Khng highlighted AREU’s overall plans: “Our long-term goal is for AREU to be the key strategic partner for workers, companies and government agencies in the attractions, resorts and entertainment industry.” 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 108 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 108 4/19/11 11:52 PM 4/19/11 11:52 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 107 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 107 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 107 4/19/11 11:52 PM 4/19/11 11:52 PM 106 GROWING LABOUR MOVEMENT Establishing NewCommunities GrowingLabourMovement 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 106 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 106 4/19/11 11:52 PM 4/19/11 11:52 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 105 U Live U Live continues to advocate a happy, healthy, productive and purposeful life for its members through its activities and age-specifc benefts. 2010: • Outreach increased from 15,000 (2009) to 19,500. • A key interest group, Eco Club, was awarded the Platinum Award in National Parks’ Community In Bloom competition. • Growth of ambassadors to 200 across 20 interest groups since setting up in 2009. 2011: • Increasing the participation outreach to 22,000 through activities and signature events. • Growing the community of ambassadors from 200 to 300.

His eyes sparkle when he talks about his passion for sports and how he believes in giving back to society. “I have always been interested in sports. I was a state runner during my younger days, and used to run 45 kilometres a day. I wanted to fnd some form of sports activities when I started working so I took up bowling, archery, golf and badminton. I played badminton very often as the NTUC Club at Shenton Way was very near to my home then. When it shifted, I couldn’t fnd a suitable place for regular practice. So I picked up brisk walking, pickleball and table tennis to keep myself occupied,” said the active ager, who sits on the U Live and U Sports Committees, and helps to organise regular sports activities as well as overseas trips for its members. Table tennis is his passion at the moment. So good is Mr Loganathan at the sport that he was selected as the frst Indian table tennis convener in his constituency club fve years ago. It was also through the specifc foundation and role of being a convener that Mr Loganathan’s understanding of the game sharpened and brought his batting skills to greater heights. Mr Loganathan’s love for table tennis has not hindered his career at the Bank of India for the past 30 years. Knowing his competency both at work and sports, his bosses have even tasked him to head the sports recreational activities at his workplace. He took it further by setting up a table tennis ‘team’, and now organises daily practices with thirteen other colleagues for leisure purposes after work. He is a passionate advocate for active living at his workplace, in U Live and in his union, the Singapore Bank Offcers’ Association (SBOA). He attributes this to a supportive family – his two daughters and their friends who used to play badminton with him. His determination to stay healthy is not without the inspiration of role models that he clearly tries to emulate. He said: “My hat goes off to Mr Hari Chandra, a 400-metre veteran runner who still coaches running and he is in his eighties now. I was also very impressed with a 90-year-old who participated in a 100-metre race at the Asian Masters in 2010.” A model active ager and one of U Live’s primary ambassadors, Mr Loganathan also believes in giving back to society and leading a purposeful life. Volunteering his services at many of the events organised by U Live, his aim is to help encourage more active agers like him to take up sports, learn new skills or pick up a new hobby and continue to widen their circle of friends, as they celebrate a new chapter in their golden years. “I strongly encourage people like me to take up some form of light exercise to keep their bodies active and healthy so that their health will not deteriorate so fast. Whether it is physical sports, such as table tennis or indoor activities like chess and mahjong, it keeps our minds alert. At the same time, we should continually equip ourselves with knowledge and improve our skills so that we may stay relevant and can even pass it on to the younger generation. We nurture relationships with new friends made through such times of bonding. It is a new phase in our lives that we shouldn’t miss out!” 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 104 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 104 4/19/11 11:51 PM 4/19/11 11:51 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 103 U Family 2010: • Integrated quality and value-for-money programmes led to the growth of membership from 26,000 to 36,000. • Awarded Distinguished Pledge Ambassador by the National Family Council. 2011: • Grow U Family membership to 45,000. • Engagement target of 35,000 participants at U Family events.

Mrs Ang eagerly looks forward to the weekends to spend valuable and meaningful time with her husband and two daughters, aged 11 and 13. The busy working mother who is a Global Programme Manager at Thomson Reuters, also serves as the General Secretary of Reuters Local Employees Union (RLEU). Mrs Ang knows well the importance of work-life harmony and hence, it comes with little surprise that she greatly welcomed the setting up of the Labour Movement’s U Family. She learnt of its interactive activities through her colleagues and makes the effort to attend these sessions. “I look forward to the lunch-time talks and seminars organised by U Family. I have been able to relate to the topics presented such as parenting and investment. Although I may not be a very young parent, these tips shared at these sessions serve as refreshers to me. I encourage working mothers and more members to attend these sessions. They will beneft from them,” she said. These lunch-time sessions also serve as networking platforms with other working mothers, members and her colleagues. Mrs Ang also looks forward to the educational and inspirational programmes and workshops that she can attend with her children and husband. “The cooking lessons and pottery workshops are of interest to my family. U Family has been organising a spread of activities since it has been set up; we look forward to going for the new activities that cater to our interests,” she shared. Mrs Ang is also an active union leader with RLEU. She regularly promotes U Family’s deck of initiatives and programmes with her union members at meetings. “I am an ardent advocate of having work-life balance and I support these activities that are rolled out by U Family to beneft our members and their families. As most of us lead hectic lifestyles, these activities give them a good opportunity to spend quality time with their families,” she said. Mrs Ang dedicates her weekends to spending such time with her family as they engage in activities such as swimming, visiting the library and playing Wii games together. Now, they also look forward to taking part in some of U Family’s unique and affordable activities during their weekends. “I am an ardent advocate of having work-life balance and I support these activities that are rolled out by U Family to benefit our members and their families. As most of us lead hectic lifestyles, these activities give them a good opportunity to spend quality time with their families.” Mrs Charlene Ang, 42, working mother Mrs Charlene Ang with her family. 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 102 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 102 4/19/11 11:50 PM 4/19/11 11:50 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 101 Young NTUC With more than 150,000 members, Young NTUC aims to be the largest and most vibrant youth movement in Singapore. Established since April 2005, Young NTUC is a movement with a difference – it encourages the youths to be active in a purposeful way. 2010: • Introduced a framework for the youths as a reference: To better ourselves, better our families, better our society and better the world. • Devised new programmes like Run 350 in March and Building Dreams in November. Run 350 helps raise awareness of the rising carbon footprint and in so doing, better the world. Building Dreams was a fund-raising sandcastle building event in aid of Thye Hua Kwan Moral Home for the Disabled. 2011: • Young NTUC aims to reinforce these programmes, as well as enhance the May Day and National Day celebrations it has always been a part of since 2006. Young NTUC hopes this continues to excite youths and inspires them to the four “betters” that have been identifed. “Being in Young NTUC allows me to participate in a lot of social activities like Run 350; I get to meet more people and know more about social concerns. With that, I can broaden my perspectives on different issues. It is a platform for participation and it gives me more leverage to do things which I would never have been able to do if I were not in here,” he shared. Staying Connected For Miss Lois Brenda Lee, 28, a Financial Services Consultant, interaction with others and the constant exchange of ideas are of key importance. She is always on the search for activities and events that are interesting or meaningful to her. She frst got to know about Young NTUC when she signed up to be a part of a pool competition two years ago. An avid pool player herself, Miss Lee felt that through the competition, she was able to exchange ideas and tactics while interacting with people from a variety of backgrounds who shared the same interest. At the same time, she felt that taking part in such competitions enabled her to improve her style of play. “You may think that you play well, but getting out there to compete with others lets you see where you really stand,” she said. Fast forward two years later and Miss Lee is taking part in an event she fnds meaning in – Young NTUC’s Run 350. She shared, “I’ve never really tried a 10-kilometre run before. This run is about being environmentally friendly… At the same time, it also helps to improve my lifestyle because you have to train for it.” Despite her busy lifestyle, Miss Lee is already looking forward to increasing her participation in more events, like the upcoming May Day celebrations. “At the end of the day, I fnd that when you relate with more people and exchange ideas, you gain new knowledge and perspectives that can be applied in all aspects of life. Young NTUC offers great platforms for such exchanges and interactions,” she said. 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 101 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 101 4/19/11 11:49 PM 4/19/11 11:49 PM 100 GROWING LABOUR MOVEMENT Making A Difference Mr David Tay, 29, began his journey with the Labour Movement back in 2007 when he headed an entrepreneurship committee at nEbO. With his strong passion for entrepreneurial work, he helped out in the running of cafes for nEbO till 2009. After graduating from university, he became a school teacher and moved on to be a part of Young NTUC. He also joined the Singapore Teachers’ Union (STU). Mr Tay believes that staying active and being involved with Young NTUC present him with opportunities he otherwise might not have had. He said: “I get to interact with people from other industries and within my own industry at different levels, so I get a more macro picture and better perspectives. I’m able to give more ideas and get more opportunities to do projects that I may not have been able to as a beginner teacher.” As he continues to play an active role within NTUC, he is continuously looking to share his knowledge and experience with others in the hope of cultivating more young leaders who will bring the Labour Movement forward. He also looks to continuously grow and take on bigger roles and responsibilities. “If you believe in a cause, you will want to contribute at a higher level, and in order to do that, you need to have more skills. You can’t make a bigger difference if you participate at the entry level; the only way to contribute is to be daring enough to take on bigger things.” Mr Tay is leading the activists’ involvement in this year’s Run 350, organised by Young NTUC. He hopes that the event will raise awareness about the environment and more people will be inspired to make a positive change. He is also thankful for the opportunity to participate in meaningful causes like this.

Miss Low Kai Ling, 20, is one such individual who has beneftted from this ‘not the usual club’. Joining nEbO in 2009, Miss Low has spearheaded and taken part in many events such as the Youth Exchange Programme (Asia-Pacifc Youth Rally), The Quest 2010, Snap that Moment Photography Competition, Uth! Campus and more. These platforms have widened her social circle and transformed her into a more confdent individual, making her world-ready. “nEbO has exposed me to many events that helped to develop my leadership skills and even the way I mingle with friends. My social circle has widened and I even got to know friends from overseas! Before I joined nEbO, I was a rather shy girl, but after working with different people and team members from the Care Community and other communities, it has helped me open up,” shared Miss Low. Miss Low was also one of the frst activists to organise a Learning Journey to NTUC Club for her fellow course mates in TP Leisure and Recreation Management course during her two-month internship with nEbO. This experience defnitely made Miss Low work-ready, equipping her with lifelong skills that will help her excel in the working world. “Through this internship with nEbO, I learnt that it is not easy to organise an event. There were many things to coordinate and I had to adapt to the different working styles of my co-workers. It was a rich learning experience. Even when we made mistakes, they gave us constructive feedback on how we could do better, rather than simply spoon feeding us with solutions. The AnEbOYouth Who Is Always Ready! internship really honed my planning and organisational skills,” said Miss Low. As a key activist in the Care Community, Miss Low not only organised meaningful care activities such as the Food Rations Distribution Service, nEbO W.I.S.H, Social Involvement Programme and Junior Kidz Day Out, she also learnt the importance of caring for the society, fulflling the life-ready aspect nEbO aims to inculcate in youths. Miss Low is defnitely a fne example of a Work-Ready, World-Ready and Life-Ready youth of nEbO who has become a better person with these three purposes in mind. She said: “These purposes have defnitely made me a better person as a whole. Most teenagers today are more interested in technology, shopping and fashion, but I think it is also important to be aware of what is happening in Singapore and globally, and also to be aware of people who need help. I am glad that nEbO instilled in me such mindsets.” As Miss Low turns 21 next year, she looks forward to joining the Labour Movement as an NTUC member. nEbO 2010: • Grew membership from 32,000 to 40,000. • Groomed a total of 40 key activists. • Organised 64 events with a total of 75,300 participants. • Recognised as the junior membership arm of NTUC. 2011: • Target to grow membership to 50,000. • Engage youths through over 70 events to build a community of Work-Ready, World-Ready and Life-Ready youths. • Increase sustainability by doubling the number of key activists from 40 to 80. • Increase relevance by strengthening the nEbO programme and including more “Work” elements to equip youths with the skills and qualities they need to succeed at the workplace. • Develop a framework to establish nEbO as an enrichment programme in mainstream schools in 2012. “Most teenagers today are more interested in technology, shopping and fashion, but I think it is also important to be aware of what is happening in Singapore and globally, and also to be aware of people who need help.” Miss Low Kai Ling, 20, nEbO Activist 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 99 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 99 4/19/11 11:49 PM 4/19/11 11:49 PM 98 GROWING LABOUR MOVEMENT 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 98 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 98 4/19/11 11:48 PM 4/19/11 11:48 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 97 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 97 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 97 4/19/11 11:48 PM 4/19/11 11:48 PM 96 GROWING LABOUR MOVEMENT Strengthening Existing Communities GrowingLabourMovement 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 96 096-117 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 96 4/19/11 11:48 PM 4/19/11 11:48 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 95 094-095 Growing Labour Movement Opener KHL.indd 95 094-095 Growing Labour Movement Opener KHL.indd 95 4/19/11 11:42 PM 4/19/11 11:42 PM 94 GrowingLabourMovement 094-095 Growing Labour Movement Opener KHL.indd 94 094-095 Growing Labour Movement Opener KHL.indd 94 4/19/11 11:42 PM 4/19/11 11:42 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 93 concern but at the same time establish very close rapport.” Noting that many younger MOM offcers already attend this coffee session, Mr Ong pointed out that the coffee session is a platform that may serve the continuance of strong tripartite ties. More formal events such as the Labour Movement Workplan Seminar 2011 and the MOM Pre-Workplan Luncheon Workshop were also cited by Mr Ong as good platforms for bonding and exchanging ideas. Separately, employers are also kept abreast of tripartite issues. Mr Koh shared that SNEF organises regular meetings for employers to keep them updated and informed of developments and that “these interactions go beyond formal meetings to informal get-togethers and functions.” He added that it is “necessary to cascade the commitment to tripartism at the top levels of management to middle levels as well” and that it was done through programmes involving middle-level management such as tripartite training programmes and industrial relations retreats. Strengthening Union Leadership To strengthen tripartism, the Labour Movement must remain strong. To this end, OTC Institute plays a key role in building a strong, effective and relevant union leadership. 2010: • 5,066 training places for certifcate, diploma and short courses, and CBF workshops. • 4,544 engagement places for targeting different levels of leaders. 2011: • Sustain 8,000 places for training and engagement activities. • Pilot e-learning for union leadership training. • Support leadership renewal through 3-Flow approach (Flow In, Flow Up and Flow On) in unions. Ms Cham Hui Fong, Alignment Director (Industrial Relations), NTUC “We are very fortunate to have leaders who work together and are able to consider the constraints faced by the other party and... eventually come up with a common solution to benefit all the parties.” Mr Ong Yen Her, Divisional Director of Labour Relations & Workplaces, MOM 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 93 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 93 4/20/11 5:01 PM 4/20/11 5:01 PM 92 UNITED TRIPARTISM On the employers end, Mr Koh Juan Kiat, Executive Director at SNEF, usually lets the positive results of tripartism speak for themselves. “It’s a process which involves consultation and taking account of employers’ feedback, sharing information and the rationale of consensus decisions taken, assisting them to implement tripartite solutions and programmes, and sharing the outcomes of decisions taken,” he said. “When employers see that tripartite solutions are effective in helping them to meet the challenges that they face, they will value tripartism.” In the case of MOM, its Divisional Director of Labour Relations & Workplaces, Mr Ong Yen Her, noted that the appreciation of tripartism comes quite naturally for its offcers as their role as conciliators between unions and employers is constantly reinforced to them. “Our offcers have always been reminded that their role is to help companies prevent and resolve disputes and also to prevent future problems from happening and we have to do it in a manner that is seen to be very objective, neutral and rational,” he explained. Strong Spirit Of Cooperation Not all employment issues are taken to a national level; in fact, most issues are usually resolved at the working level, noted Ms Cham. Ms Cham related a case where the tripartite partners came together to work with the banks to embrace the re-employment policy. Some of the banks took the initiative to stop the wage cut of workers at the age of 60 and closely adopted the tripartite guidelines on the re-employment of their workers. Mr Ong pointed out that such a cooperative tripartite relationship exists because of the trust and confdence established by the parties over the years. “We are very fortunate to have leaders who work together and are able to consider the constraints faced by the other party and make adjustments and eventually come up with a common solution to beneft all the parties,” he said. An Informal Way To Formalise Things Although tripartism remains strong in Singapore, the real challenge for NTUC, SNEF and MOM is to sustain its momentum in the years to come. Ms Cham stressed the importance of ensuring that it “remains relevant to the working people” while Mr Koh emphasised on “keeping the communication channels open with employers and among the three parties”. There is also the added challenge of maintaining the strong bond between tripartite parties. Mr Ong stressed that this must be passed down through future generations so as “to ensure that it continues and remains our competitive advantage”. Both Ms Cham and Mr Ong also let in on the secret of how tripartite partners currently keep up the relationship. “We actually come together for coffee every Wednesday morning at Queen Street,” she shared. “More importantly, we sit down and discuss key issues. Sometimes it can be chit chat; sometimes it can be any feedback on the tripartite guidelines. For example, National Wages Council, what are you looking out for? Are there any retrenchments? They will also hear about some of our work plans.” Mr Ong noted that “this not only enables us to discuss issues of common “When employers see that tripartite solutions are effective in helping them to meet the challenges that they face, they will value tripartism.” Mr Koh Juan Kiat, Executive Director, SNEF Strengthening Tripartism The Ong Teng Cheong Labour Leadership Institute (OTC Institute) has played a leading role in promoting tripartism in Singapore through various interactive platforms and events. 2010: • Singapore tripartism featured at International Labour Organisation (ILO) Congress in Geneva. • Launched STF e-newsletter reaching out to over 20,000 practitioners. • Commenced HR WSQ (Industrial Relations) training courses. 2011: • Scale up efforts to promote progressive employment practices. • Reach out to at least 25,000 through STF e-newsletter. • HR WSQ training for at least 500 HR and line managers and supervisors. 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 92 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 92 4/20/11 5:00 PM 4/20/11 5:00 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 91 Tripartism In Action Leading By Example The challenge of constantly entrenching the value of tripartism within the ranks and keeping its spirit alive and well in Singapore is all in a day’s work for the stalwart Directors of NTUC, SNEF and MOM. Building trust. Instilling confdence. Cultivating rapport. These time-honoured bedrocks of a good tripartite relationship are not simply uttered but entrenched like a well-practiced culture in NTUC, SNEF and MOM. Over at NTUC, Alignment Director (Industrial Relations), Cham Hui Fong, leads by example to drive home such values to the team of Industrial Relations Offcers (IROs) under her care. “Just by how frequently we (the tripartite partners) meet, it shows them that communication is key in building this relationship. And the crux of the issue is when we can really get things done... the way we have resolved issues on the re-employment of older workers, or managing shorter work weeks, and how quickly the tripartite partners could come up with the guidelines. I believe it is because of the trust that was built up over time,” she said. Another way Ms Cham has fltered down these principles is by encouraging the IROs to walk the ground and cultivate bipartite relations frst. She explained: “They have to get to know the management, and importantly, the senior management and CEOs, because in negotiation and in seeking understanding from the management on any issues – be it proft-sharing, bonuses or annual increment – it is always useful to have access to the key top management to maintain trust at all times. “The IROS also have to know the work environment their workers are in so they can appreciate their working conditions and working culture. They need to know the union committees well because the workers will share issues with them. They must build good rapport with the line managers because they are the ones who will have direct impact on the workers.” (From left) Mr Koh Juan Kiat (Executive Director, SNEF), Mr Ong Yen Her (Divisional Director of Labour Relations & Workplaces, MOM), Ms Cham Hui Fong (Alignment Director (Industrial Relations), NTUC). “They have to get to know the management, and importantly, the senior management and CEOs... it is always useful to have access to the key top management to maintain trust at all times.” Ms Cham Hui Fong, Alignment Director (Industrial Relations), NTUC 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 91 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 91 4/19/11 11:37 PM 4/19/11 11:37 PM 90 UNITED TRIPARTISM Mr Nur Azarudin Putri Mohamed Jufri, Principal Industrial Relations Offcer (IRO) at both the Union of Power and Gas Employees (UPAGE) and the Singapore Refning Company Employees’ Union (SRCEU), has worked with the tripartite parties to help workers get re-employed. These workers are exempted from the existing Retirement Age Act and have to retire at the age of 55 or 60 with a lump sum payment. However, in light of the increasing cost of living, many of the workers want to continue working. Mr Azarudin, who is also involved in the Oil, Petrochemical, Energy and Chemical (OPEC) Cluster, explained: “Because of this, we now have some issues on how we should be consolidating our employment practices to let the workers be re-employed till 62 and beyond. “As far as possible, if the older workers can still contribute meaningfully, then they should still be allowed to work.” The union in charge, SRCEU, is still in the process of getting the company on board with re-employment. The OPEC cluster had arranged several tripartite platforms to address concerns of both union and management, which served to fnd ways to help them re-employ their older workers, including those who were exempted. Maintaining tripartite relationships is a very well-entrenched culture in the OPEC Cluster. Mr Azarudin shared that they always make the effort to stay in touch with the tripartite parties through informal networking platforms. Likewise at the union level, there is an informal quarterly IR Mentoring session where IROs engage MOM representatives and SNEF consultants. Through maintaining close working relations and open communication amongst IROs, MOM offcers and SNEF consultants, the tripartite partners have resolved many issues on the ground in a win-win-win fashion. Mr Nur Azarudin Putri Mohamed Jufri, Principal Industrial Relations Offcer at NTUC. 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 90 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 90 4/19/11 11:37 PM 4/19/11 11:37 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 89 A Delicate Balancing Act On the whole, Mrs Lim-Tan Meng Choo, Senior Assistant Director of Industrial Relations at MOM sees the main function of the Ministry as that of a ‘balancer’. “Our role is to ensure that there is a harmonious industrial relations climate so that we can generate more jobs and attract foreign investors. Our role is to lead; when the parties come to see us, we will get them to tell us their problems and concerns and get the unions to give us feedback. From there, we will try to generate options so that the parties can co-create a solution, which the unions can take away and sell to their members and companies sell to their owners,” she said, adding that the role becomes more pronounced during a downturn. Mrs Lim-Tan handled a case involving a company defaulting on Annual Wage Supplement (AWS) payments which showed that a ‘give-and-take’ attitude was all that was needed by the tripartite parties to come to an amicable solution. “The company was in fnancial diffculties because they were having problems with cash fow and the high cost of raw materials. As a result, they could not pay the one month AWS as spelt out in the Collective Agreement (CA). We brought the two parties together and asked the company to share pertinent information like the Balance Sheet and documentation that the banks or creditors were after them, to show that they were really in fnancial diffculties and unable to meet the commitment in the CA. “On the part of the union, the AWS was a commitment in the CA, and naturally they wanted the company to pay. They said, ‘You have to understand that the workers are also having diffculties because the AWS is a very sacred payment and is used for members’ children’s schooling and festive needs’. “That’s where we try to balance the needs of the unions as well as the concerns of the company, and then from there, we suggested some options for the two parties. In the end, they came to an agreement and the company paid a portion of the AWS.” Enlightening Companies Every Step Of The Way SNEF, on the other hand, is the advisor to the companies. Mr Kee shared a case during the 2008/2009 global downturn which highlighted the need for companies to keep communication channels open in the face of adversity. “The company’s production was scaled back drastically. Information was not quite properly disseminated through the branch offcials and the union and there was a lot of anxiety about what would happen to the workers and the union members. “The company kept mum because it is a foreign-owned company operating in Singapore and the management in Singapore had their hands tied. They were not allowed to disseminate too much information through the local staff, so therein lay this communication gap. On the ground, there was the perception that the local company deliberately refused to share the information. “The approach we took was to frst clear that communication roadblock. We were able to convince the local management, even writing to their headquarters in the United States, that in the context of Singapore, if the information is given to the local management to disseminate, it is a very important, necessary frst step. Eventually we cleared that roadblock and managed to get a session convened where the information was disseminated to the workers on where the company was and what it intended to do at that point in time.” Getting Issues Out In The Open When it comes to pushing issues to the forefront, NTUC has always worked closely with the tripartite partners. Currently, it is the issue on the re-employment of older workers. Mr Kee Chia Choon, IR Consulting Group Director at SNEF. 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 89 088-093 United Tripartism KHL.indd 89 4/19/11 11:36 PM 4/19/11 11:36 PM 88 UNITED TRIPARTISM From securing one worker’s outstanding bonus claims to implementing policies that affect thousands of workers, the tripartite partners of NTUC, SNEF and MOM are ever ready to work together on any issue that impacts workers, no matter how big or small. Mr Kee Chia Choon, SNEF’s IR Consulting Group Director, shared that many of the smaller issues are usually handled in an informal manner. “We know the MOM offcers and union offcials on a personal level. When anything comes up from the ground, usually a phone call will come frst, with the union foating it up to us, particularly when they fnd that the issue has become diffcult to resolve or when management has become a bit unreasonable,” he said. Singapore’s unique brand of tripartism can always be counted upon - in good times and bad – to deliver win-win outcomes for workers and employers, thus ensuring fair treatment for workers and economic success. Representatives from NTUC, the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) reveal how they work together to make things work.

The MWC also provides platforms to encourage migrant workers’ integration into Singaporean society through programmes and initiatives targeting the divides in culture, language and attitudes. 2010: • Provided humanitarian assistance to 1,400 migrant workers. • Supported training in Basic Conversational English and Knowing Singapore Programme for 1,400 migrant workers. • Reached out to 24,700 migrant workers through seminars and social events to generate awareness of fair employment practices. 2011: • Do more to minimise social cost, continue to help distressed migrant workers and promote social integration. • Do more to maximise economic contribution of foreign workers through training to improve productivity and to advocate skills-based recruitment. • Continue to advocate fair treatment, such as transparency in employment agency services and better dormitory and food hygiene for migrant workers. Mr Damondamon Alivir Jon Ripdos from the Philippines, Senior Foreman in the team, believes that upgrading and continuous learning is imperative. He said: “It is very important to upgrade ourselves to keep up with the evolving technologies and requirements at the workplace.” He also highlighted the teamwork in this continuous learning process. He said: “When I learn something new, I can pass it on the knowledge to others or help new team members. We can teach one another and help one another.” KEU President, Mr Mohamed, also valued the different speciality knowledge and skills amongst his team members. He added: “We have different competencies. Amongst us, Jon (Mr Damondamon) is our pump specialist while Anis (Mr Md Anisul Hoque Mohammed Shafiul Hoque, Trainee Supervisor, from Bangladesh) is our turret specialist. In this sense, leveraging on each other’s strengths and competencies, we can do a good job on any project.” Backed by a united and highly-skilled workforce, Keppel Shipyard repairs, converts and upgrades a diverse range of vessels and has a good track record in their operations and safety performance. Mr Mohamed concluded: “When the company does well, we all benefit.” (From left) Md Anisul Hoque Mohammed Shaful Hoque (Bangladeshi, Trainee Supervisor), Damondamon Alivir Jon Ripdos (Filipino, Senior Foreman), Mohamed Yusop Mansor (Singaporean, President of KEU, Fitter), Hu Xiao Jie (Mainland Chinese, Trainee Supervisor), Mohamad Lamin (Singaporean, Senior Fitter), Md Abu Bakar Siddique Munna (Singapore Permanent Resident, Foreman) from the Machinery Department, “I am very happy to be with them even though they are from different nationalities… they are all like my brothers.” Mr Mohamad Lamin, 60, Senior Fitter, Keppel Shipyard “When the company does well, we all benefit.” Mr Mohamed Yusop Mansor, Fitter, Keppel Shipyard, and President of the Keppel Employees Union (KEU) 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 85 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 85 4/20/11 4:59 PM 4/20/11 4:59 PM 84 INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE A Common Language A workforce comprising individuals from diverse backgrounds, strong bonds amongst workers and a safety-first mindset are of vital importance to maintain a safe and productive work environment at Keppel Shipyard. Having a common language helps to build common ground between workers, enabling them to ensure each other’s safety in a demanding industry. Mr Hu Xiao Jie, newly appointed Trainee Supervisor in the Machinery Department, first arrived in Singapore from China in 2001. “When I first came to Singapore, I could not speak the English language very well,” said Mr Hu. But that did not stop him or his fellow workers from persevering and progressing in their line of work which includes operating heavy machinery and equipment together. One Language, One Goal, No Boundaries To brush up on his English language skills, Mr Hu makes a constant effort to interact with his co-workers in his free time. Mr Hu’s work team candidly shared that their initial social interactions had required the aid of the universal language – body language and hand gestures but this lessened as each person’s command of the English language improved. Like Mr Hu, a few of his co-workers came from other countries such as the Philippines, Bangladesh and Myanmar, as such they too faced the problem of limited understanding of the English language at the start With the help of Keppel Shipyard’s comprehensive orientation programme, including training in core technical skills, the mandatory Shipyard Safety Instruction Course and a Beginner’s English Course, the migrant workers were able to ease themselves into their new work environment. They also seized opportunities to improve their grasp of the English language through customized English lessons provided by the company in partnership with NTUC LearningHub. Today, the team is not only able to understand and converse with one another in English but has also picked up a little bit of each others’ mother tongue. Mr Mohamad Bin Lamin, Senior Fitter, is now 60 years old and has been working for Keppel Shipyard for over 30 years. As one of two Singaporeans in the group, he shared that he was glad to be able work alongside this team of workers. “I am very happy to be with them even though they are from different nationalities because we have been working with each other for more than ten years and know each other well… they are all like my brothers,” he said. Mr Mohamed Yusop B Mansor, President of the Keppel Employees Union (KEU), highlighted the value of having an international team: “Although the main working language in the Singapore shipping industry is the English language, having workers from other countries is useful because we have ships from these countries that dock here. Our foreign workers can communicate with them in their native language as we do our work. It is definitely a value-add for us.” Staying Productive Eager to grow their capabilities, Mr Hu and his team mates readily take up skills upgrading programmes provided by the company. Courses range from training on core technical skills and safety for new hires to the Modular Skills Training programmes for supervisors and foremen. Mr Hu shared that he undergoes at least one training course each year. 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 84 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 84 4/19/11 11:31 PM 4/19/11 11:31 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 83 and staff with the relevant experience are a valuable asset. They bring with them a wealth of experience which we treasure.” Over the past two years, NUH has re-employed all 40 of its older workers who were due for re-employment. The HR team constantly works hard to develop and review policies and programmes that are mature worker-centric. Two recent reviews include offering a three-year re-employment contract to workers, instead of on an annual basis and allowing re-employed staff to enjoy their annual leave entitlement at the point of re-employment. Going forward, Ms Wee and her team intend to work closely together with HSEU to strengthen the terms and conditions for mature workers in order to highlight their value to the hospital. She strongly believes that they can “serve as good mentors and role models to the younger cohort” and that “it is the competencies that we are looking at, the right attitude and the right aspiration”. Re-employment of Older Workers Re-employment enables older workers to be gainfully employed for a fulflling life, while at the same time being a value-added resource to companies, thereby enhancing companies’ competitiveness. 2010: • 10,536 re-employed workers. • 1,058 companies committed to re-employment (92 per cent of unionised companies) including 547 companies that have adopted tripartite guidelines. • 53 per cent of committed companies have a formalised re-employment policy. 2011: • 12,000 workers re-employed. • 100 per cent of unionised companies have a formalised re-employment policy. Key Strategies: • Continue to expand the job opportunities of older workers by getting companies to adopt tripartite guidelines and sustainable HR policies. • Bring about mindset shift in line managers and workers through training and counselling. • Building a community of employers to share best practices on re-employment. “I want to keep my mind active and will carry on working for as long as I can.” Mr Cheng Kim Hai, 67, Pharmacy Storekeeper, National University Hospital 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 83 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 83 4/19/11 11:31 PM 4/19/11 11:31 PM 82 INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE Mr Cheng Kim Hai may be 67 years old but is still healthy and going strong, ever keen to go about his day-to-day duties as a Storekeeper at the Pharmacy of the National University Hospital (NUH). “I like to stay active; it keeps me healthy. I want to keep my mind active and will carry on working for as long as I can,” he said. For this very reason and because of his outgoing nature, Mr Cheng continues to work even though he is past the retirement age of 62. He is grateful for the opportunity that NUH has given him to continue working with them. Having first joined NUH in 1989 as a Pharmacy Technician, he worked until he reached the age of 62 when he felt he wanted to try something new. He then ventured to work as a Security Officer elsewhere. As the working hours proved to be unfavourable, Mr Cheng re-joined NUH a year later. With the help of his union, the Healthcare Services Employees’ Union (HSEU), Mr Cheng was able to negotiate a similar remuneration package when he returned to NUH. Although he was not performing the same job function, NUH recognised his strengths and valued his experience and placed him in a pharmaceutical position where he could best utilise his skills. Today, Mr Cheng is able to apply his strong pharmaceutical knowledge to his current tasks. With his pharmaceutical experience, he is also able to guide his fellow workers in different areas. He is glad to have been given a chance to carry on working in an environment that he is familiar with. “I am happy to work in this line because I know all the things down here and I am thankful to NUH.” Strongly focused on his career, Mr Cheng has no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. He hopes that he can motivate people his age to adopt his approach. “I hope more people out there will be like me and continue working,” he exclaimed. Mr Cheng is able to get a job at his age because employers like NUH focus on hiring and keeping workers who have substantial experience, passionate about the job and compassionate when it comes to serving others. Having been awarded the International Innovative Employer Awards in 2010, NUH is well-known for promoting the employment and retention of older workers. Its Human Resource Director Clara Wee said: “In a healthcare environment such as ours, human resources are very critical to us AWealth Of ExperienceWorth Treasuring 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 82 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 82 4/19/11 11:30 PM 4/19/11 11:30 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 81 is to keep myself occupied and keep my mind alert.

A back-to-work success story, Madam Asimah has this advice for women who are in her situation: “It is good for women to go back to work especially those who are my age. But they should maintain a balance and ensure they do not neglect their family. There are programmes and organisations that can help them re-connect with society by helping them secure jobs. It was through the WDS job fair and with South West CDC’s assistance that I was able to secure this job. “I am very happy with my current job so I encourage women to go back to work and approach organisations like WDS for assistance because they can help you remain relevant.” “My motivation for returning to the workforce is to keep myself occupied and keep my mind alert. With this salary, I am able to help my husband with the family expenses. Most importantly, it helps me stay connected with society.” Madam Asimah Ahmad, 43, Teacher’s Assistant, SeaCare Manpower Services Pte Ltd Women’s Development Secretariat Continuing with a 3R – Recruitment, Re-adjustment, Retention – approach to involve more women in the workforce in a sustainable way. 2010: • Recruitment: Placed 3,039 women back-to-work. • Re-adjustment: Helped 2,525 women re-adjust to work through training programmes. • Retention: Engaged 209 companies in family-friendly initiatives like fexi-work arrangements and Little Ones @ Work. 2011: • Recruitment: 3,000 job placements with industry median (50th percentile) pay. • Re-adjustment: 3,000 training places for women job seekers and a mentorship programme for employers. • Retention: 150 committed companies to adopt fexi-work arrangements and participate in work life programmes like Work-the-Talk and Little Ones @ Work.

That’s what happened when Madam Asimah Ahmad, 43, met NTUC Women’s Development Secretariat (WDS) in 2010 and went back to work. Madam Asimah used to take home just over 200 as a part-time librarian with Concorde Primary School when she left the workforce in 2005 to take care of her three children, aged 8, 11 and 14. Six years later, in 2010, Madam Asimah decided that it was time for her to return to the workforce as her children were older and could take care of themselves. She was advised by a friend to contact the South West Community Development Council (CDC) service centre to find a job. It was at the centre that Madam Asimah came to know about WDS who promptly put her on a path to securing a good, stable employment. She recounted the initial experience: “As I only have GCE ‘O’ levels qualification, South West CDC recommended that I take up a computer course to upgrade my skills as I was Re-connecting With Society computer illiterate. WDS was driving the initiative. WDS also sent me for a Personal Effectiveness course and paid me 4 an hour for attending it. Meals were also provided. The breakthrough came when she attended one of the job fairs organised by WDS last year at the National Library. Madam Asimah was interviewed by SeaCare Manpower Services Pte Ltd and successfully placed at her old workplace, Concorde Primary School, in a higher position as a Teacher’s Assistant, drawing 1,200. “Currently, I am assisting the head of department for English at Concorde Primary School. I am very happy working here and, of course, what I am earning now is much more than what I used to earn as a part-time librarian,” she said. Madam Asimah admitted that although money was not the driving force for returning back to the workforce, she has since seen its value. “Honestly, I do not need the money. As a family, we live comfortably.

It aims to enhance the economic and social well-being of the low-wage contract and casual workforce. 2010: • Reached out to 17,000 contract and casual workers. 2011: • Engage and educate 18,000 workers to get on Workfare Income Supplement (WIS). • Up-skill 2,000 workers through Workfare Training Support (WTS) scheme. • Reach out to more sectors and workers to include logistics, F&B, and landscaping. “At the start, I never knew that training was good for me. After I went for one course, I realised that it was beneficial so I was willing to go for more.” Mr Sharavanan Mohan, 21, Supervisor, Ban Chuan Trading & Engineering Private Limited with Central Provident Fund (CPF) benefits and statutory entitlements. A best sourcing contract also includes requirements to provide workers with certified training and a remuneration package that rewards those with higher skills. Mr Sharavanan is fortunate to work for one such enlightened employer - Ban Chuan Trading & Engineering Private Limited. It is one of the many cleaning service providers that were awarded cleaning contracts by 14 PAP town councils under the Best Sourcing Initiative (BSI). The success story of Mr Sharavanan demonstrates how the three parties - PAP town councils, Ban Chuan and UCCW - worked together to increase quality and performance standards in the cleaning industry as well as up-skill the workers to help them achieve better jobs and better wages. 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 79 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 79 4/19/11 11:30 PM 4/19/11 11:30 PM 78 INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE A dirty job with measly pay plus long working hours. This is often the perception people have towards the cleaning industry, which explains why many shun it. However, the NTUC Unit for Contract and Casual Workers (UCCW) aims to change that perception by enhancing the image and professionalism of the cleaning industry. By up-skilling the workers through training, UCCW has made significant progress towards that direction. Twenty-one-year-old Supervisor Mr Sharavanan Mohan is one such individual who has benefitted. Mr Sharavanan started out as a block sweeper earning only 500 a month and was not keen on training. However, one training course was enough to change his perspective. “At the start, I never knew that training was good for me. A lot of people didn’t want to go for the courses but my supervisor still signed me up as he knew that it was good for me. After I went for one course, I realised that it was beneficial so I was willing to go for more,” he said. The effort Mr Sharavanan put in to upgrade indeed paid off. After attending the “Clean Residential Estate (Manual)” training course under the National Skills Recognition System (NSRS) as well as learning how to operate the high-jet washer machine on the job, Mr Sharavanan’s wage rose to 1,000 in less than a year. He was also promoted to a high-jet washer. He upped his skills further and went for a training course in custodial checking, communications, customer service and work ethics, which allowed him to double up as a Building Custodian. With better skills and increased productivity, Mr Sharavanan was promoted again to his current position, a supervisor, with a salary of 1,500. Today, Mr Sharavanan’s job duties include doing block inspection, cleaning and sweeping and attending to residential complaints. These duties are easily manageable thanks to the training he went through. “The skills I’ve learnt are useful in my current job role. Before training, I only knew how to do the manual work. But through the course, it not only taught me how to communicate better with people, it has also helped me to understand the procedure of my job better which makes me more productive,” he said. Apart from enhancing the professionalism of the cleaning industry, one of UCCW’s core missions is also to encourage buyers of cleaning services to practise best sourcing. This is where contracts are awarded to cleaning service providers not solely on price, but also on quality and performance standards that include providing workers “I’mProud To BeACleaner” 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 78 078-085 Inclusive Workforce_2 KHL.indd 78 4/19/11 11:29 PM 4/19/11 11:29 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 77 e2i (Employment and Employability Institute) As the marketplace for workers, employers and training providers, e2i exists to create better jobs and better lives for all workers through its 3P efforts: Placement, Productivity improvements and Professional development.

Upon receiving his security licence, Mr Yow was recommended for a position by e2i as a security offcer with Reachfeld Security & Safety Management Pte Ltd, which actively participates in its job fairs. “e2i helped me upgrade my skills and secure this job with Reachfeld. As I wanted a job with better pay, I was motivated to study hard and do my best for the assessment,” said Mr Yow. “I now earn 1,400 a month, double the amount I used to earn as a cleaner. I am very happy and I like my working environment. In addition, I live near my workplace and it only takes me ten minutes to walk from my home to work.” Mr Terence Leong, Operations Executive of the company, shared how impressed he was with Mr Yow’s performance on the job: “Despite his age, Mr Yow is probably one of the best security offcers we have. He is never late for work, carries the right attitude, and is a positive infuence to other offcers.” Indeed, despite his age, Mr Yow even makes it a point to keep ft and strong by jogging almost every day. All in all, Mr Yow has realised the importance of skills upgrading and having the right attitude, and knows it goes a long way in securing a good, stable job. “Anyone who is looking for a job should approach e2i as they are able to suggest training courses that would increase their chances of securing a job. There are many courses to choose from. With their assistance, it makes the job search process easier. And when you pass the course, it is easier for you to get a job,” he said. 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 77 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 77 4/19/11 11:10 PM 4/19/11 11:10 PM 76 INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE “To get a job, you have to upgrade yourself and continue to learn,” said Mr Yow Choy, 73, a former bus driver who worked for SBS Transit Ltd and Trans-Island Bus Service Ltd for 33 years. “This is what I learnt after I discovered NTUC’s e2i (Employment and Employability Institute). e2i advised me to continue learning and encouraged me to upgrade myself so that I would stand a better chance of securing a job. Thankfully, I did.” After retiring at the age of 66, he felt the need to continue working to SecuringABetter Job Through e2i keep himself occupied and his mind alert. Shortly after, he landed a job as a cleaner with MediaCorp Pte Ltd but left after four years, at the age of 70, to seek employment elsewhere and was introduced to e2i. “I went to the Ministry of Labour, now it is called the Ministry of Manpower, to ask them to help me fnd a job but I went to the wrong place as it was for foreign workers seeking employment. So they directed me to NTUC’s CareerLink (now known as e2i) to help me,” he recalled. After working as a cleaner for a while, Mr Yow returned to e2i to seek assistance to get a job again. This time, e2i suggested that he attend a course to pick up a new skill and recommended a few suitable ones for him. After attending the Attitude, Skills and Knowledge (ASK) workshop, Mr Yow decided to get a licence to become a security offcer. “After a week, I passed my security assessment course. At frst, my trainer was afraid I might not be able to memorise the theory for the assessment because of my age but I managed to prove him wrong,” he said.

There is no longer the guarantee of a lifelong job or a lifelong career even for those who are well-qualifed. The best way to stay ahead of the competition is to become more capable in terms of possessing deeper expertise in their felds and to become more adaptable in terms of having broad skills that can be easily transferred across jobs and industries. The Labour Movement will continue to develop future ready “T-shaped” PMETs. 2010: • e2i, through its 3P efforts (Placement, Productivity improvements and Professional development) helped 4,000 PMETs upgrade and fnd new jobs, and helped 6,900 PMETs undergo professional development. • NTUC LearningHub launched its Next U programme, offering 8,000 training places and signed partnerships with 10 world-class training partners. 2011: • e2i will continue with its 3P efforts and double the number of PMETs served to 8,000 and help 12,000 with professional development. • Next U aims to establish more exciting partnerships with world-class training institutes and to increase training places to 12,000. “As a CEO, you have to have a diverse understanding in the different aspects of business… That is why you have to continuously upgrade yourself to understand different aspects both within and beyond your industry.” Mr Edmund Lau, 39, Managing Director, Royal Edmundson International Enterprise deciding on relevant courses to take: “Once you know yourself and your environment, then you will know what kind of training you need. You frst have to know what you want in your personal mastery.” Mr Lau’s constant quest for knowledge led him to NTUC LearningHub’s Next U where he frst enrolled in the Project Management Professional certifcation, a full-time programme for fve days in January 2011. Subsequently, he continued his learning journey with Next U’s courses such as ‘Leading & Sustaining a Culture of Service Excellence’ by the Disney Institute and the Certifed Lean Sigma Black Belt. Mr Lau looks forward to attend more courses with Next U and recommends it to other PMETs. He said: “Next U, under NTUC LearningHub, has very comprehensive programmes and higher-end courses for PMETs. In future, I could be looking at other courses from Next U, such as the John Robert Powers programmes to further understand personal growth.” 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 75 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 75 4/19/11 11:09 PM 4/19/11 11:09 PM 74 INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE Like most PMETs (Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technical People), 39-year-old Mr Edmund Lau’s job nature often involves a hectic work schedule and lifestyle. However, he did not let that stop him from making the time for skills upgrading. Over the years, he has enrolled in numerous short courses, ranging from language to leadership, to enrich himself and improve his profciencies. As the Managing Director of Royal Edmundson International Enterprise, a company he established in 2004 dealing with environmentally-friendly products, he places great importance in continuous upgrading to remain competitive in a global market. One of the advantages of skills upgrading, he shared, is the exposure it brings, especially in terms of best practices. “You are able to adopt and learn from international best practices by attending various certifed courses and you get a global view,” he said. As PMETs are now competing globally in dynamic and progressive markets, it is increasingly important for them to be “T-shaped”, which is to be capable professionals with deep skills in their respective felds and at the same time, be adaptable in stretching their skills and knowledge across other areas beyond their craft and industry. Mr Lau clearly shares this view. He said: “You could be in lower or middle management but in the next fve to 20 years, you could be a Chief Executive Offcer (CEO). As a CEO, you have to have a diverse understanding in the different aspects of business such as marketing, fnances, supply chain and customer management. That is why you have to continuously upgrade yourself to understand different aspects both within and beyond your industry. It helps you stay employable and adds value to your career.” Besides understanding the industry, Mr Lau encourages PMETs to identify their strengths and weaknesses before Broadening Skills To Become Future Ready 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 74 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 74 4/19/11 11:09 PM 4/19/11 11:09 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 73 the demands of the ever-changing economy. More companies are also keen to drive their organisations towards operational excellence. We are charging ahead in our productivity efforts, and with the presence of more PMETs in the workforce, they will play an increasingly bigger role in achieving this target.” Mr Lim is currently attending a project management course and will be attending another company-sponsored course in the near future. He said: “The company has worked out a plan to send me for an IT course that would enable me to use the Microsoft Project software which is helpful because I am currently managing some projects.” Gemalto’s HR Manager for South Asia Manufacturing Ms Cheng Ai Lee said: “Through our collaboration with e2i, Gemalto has sent many of our staff for professional development courses, both internally and externally, and they have beneftted from these courses. “Gemalto believes that by providing training to our employees, it will help the employees build character and realise their full potential. It equips them with the necessary skills and competencies required for the job and facilitates career development and growth within the organisation.” “In a globally competitive economy, companies need workers that bring value to the organisation. They value workers that are productive, capable, adaptable and flexible. So to stay relevant and employable, we should always seek knowledge and find ways to deepen our skill sets.” Mr Earvin Lim, 37, Method Engineer, Gemalto Pte Ltd 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 73 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 73 4/19/11 11:08 PM 4/19/11 11:08 PM 72 INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE Method Engineer Mr Earvin Lim, 37, was retrenched as a Process Engineer during the global economic crisis of 2009. Mr Lim recalled: “I was so afraid that I would not be able to get a job that I was actually prepared to undergo the Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) to move into the biomedical sector. However, due to overwhelming response, the course was fully booked. I was asked to wait for the next intake. But thankfully, Gemalto offered me a position.” The experience taught him that it is important for PMETs (Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technical People) like him to upgrade their skills to remain relevant in the workforce. Deepening Skill Sets To StayAhead Of The Competition “In a globally competitive economy, companies need workers that bring value to the organisation. They value workers that are productive, capable, adaptable and fexible. So to stay relevant and employable, we should always seek knowledge and fnd ways to deepen our skill sets,” said Mr Lim. As a Method Engineer, his job is to look at ways to improve the robustness of the work processes in the organisation. Four months into the job, Gemalto Pte Ltd, which invests heavily in training programmes for its staff, sponsored Mr Lim for two training courses – Design of Experiment and Six Sigma Green Belt with PSB Learning. He said that the training enabled him to fnd solutions systematically, helped increase his productivity and most importantly, provided him with portable and certifable skills and knowledge. Mr Lim’s opportunity for up-skilling was made possible by e2i (Employment and Employability Institute) which works closely with Gemalto to identify its workers’ training needs and help link them to suitable training service providers. For the company’s PMET employees, e2i has a list of subsidised professional development courses that will equip them with deep skills that are portable and benefcial to both the individual and the company. e2i Chief Executive Offcer Ang Hin Kee said: “We need more PMETs like Earvin to take advantage of the training provided to acquire skills that can meet 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 72 72-77 Inclusive Workforce KHL.indd 72 4/19/11 11:08 PM 4/19/11 11:08 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 71 070-071 open IW KHL.indd 71 070-071 open IW KHL.indd 71 4/19/11 10:56 PM 4/19/11 10:56 PM 70 InclusiveWorkforce 070-071 open IW KHL.indd 70 070-071 open IW KHL.indd 70 4/19/11 10:56 PM 4/19/11 10:56 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 69 The introduction of the motorised trolley was much welcomed by 41-year-old Madam Jalilah Jantan, who has been working as a Housekeeping Attendant for about three years. Before the motorised trolleys were introduced, Madam Jalilah had diffculty pushing the heavy trolley around over the carpeted walkways and spent about an hour cleaning 15 rooms. Now with the motorised trolleys, the time taken for the same number of rooms has decreased by half to just 30 minutes. The energy and time Madam Jalilah has saved from pushing the trolley now allows her to focus on her main job role, that is, to make up the room well. She said: “In the past, pushing the trolley on the carpet was very tough and I always got back aches. There was once I was so tired that I couldn’t even do housework for a month! But with the motorised trolley, I can do my job better and faster as I have more energy to clean the rooms and can travel from room to room more easily.” More importantly, the company has lived by the spirit of IGP and shared their productivity gains with their staff. With the improved Garbage Clearing System, workers involved in this new productivity move will see a seven per cent monthly wage increment, a one-time three-month Inclusive Growth Programme (IGP) Launched in 2010, the Inclusive Growth Programme (IGP) is a 40 million programme set up to drive productivity improvements across sectors. It supports companies in rolling out their productivity improvement projects and sharing productivity gains with workers. As of March 2011, 265 projects were approved with 16.6 million funding committed to impact over 20,000 low-wage workers. IGP also supports Best-Sourcing Initiatives (BSI) and has seen 85 BSI contracts worth over 200 million implemented to beneft over 1,800 workers. The Labour Movement aims to make BSI a market norm, in which every service buyer practises best-sourcing instead of cheap-sourcing. Through e2i (Employment and Employability Institute) and the unions, we will continue to work with companies who share the same vision and push for a nationwide adoption of productivity improvement practices. With productivity gains, workers will have better skills, better job value and better pay. 2010: • Productivity improvements through the IGP impacted over 2,600 low-wage workers. 2011: • Productivity improvements to impact 22,000 workers. Housekeeping Attendant Madam Jalilah with her easy-to-use motorised trolley system. bonus payout as well as a four per cent annual increment for 2010. Workers involved with the motorised trolley system will also see an average increase of four per cent in their monthly salary as well as a one-time 0.5 month bonus payout. “For this year, overall, we have adjusted the salaries of our staff from all levels in areas where we have managed to redefne the job scope to something that encompasses more roles and responsibilities. In this sense, salary increases are tagged to productivity increases. We saw salary increases of between 10 to 30 per cent for our guest service offcers, butlers, concierge, housekeeping and stewarding attendants, as compared to the usual four per cent annual increase. Overall, I think the entire organisation has really beneftted from this programme,” said Mr Ang. Seeing their efforts to help the hotel improve productivity pay off made the workers very encouraged and glad, and this was acknowledged by Assistant Chief Engineer Abdul Subhan, who is also FDAWU’s President. He said: “The employees are very happy because of the genuine gesture on the part of the management. At the end of the day, it’s the salary that workers bring home that matters. So by sharing gains with workers, it is a clear indication that whatever they have contributed has paid off at the end of the day. In fact, the workers are now more motivated and are looking forward to what they can do on their end to support the hotel’s productivity drive.” A happy Madam Jalilah added: “With my wage increment, I can now buy more essential items needed for my children’s education.” 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 69 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 69 4/20/11 4:58 PM 4/20/11 4:58 PM 68 CBF ECONOMY operating the machine. The other person is now re-deployed to do other duties. The dangers of slipping when pushing the bin up on rainy days is also eradicated,” shared Mr Fang. The introduction of the motorised trolleys for transporting items around the hotel, another productivity initiative, has also proved its worth. Through the Labour Movement’s IGP funding, Royal Plaza on Scotts increased their feet of motorised trolleys from two to eight and has intentions to increase this further by another 38 trolleys. “With the IGP funding available, we are able to come to a faster decision because the funding has effectively helped us to reduce our Return on Investment (ROI). So in this case of increasing our feet of motorised trolleys, we were able to go all out and implement it at full scale,” explained Mr Ang. “In this sense, salary increases are tagged to productivity increases. We saw salary increases of between 10 to 30 per cent for our guest service officers, butlers, concierge, housekeeping and stewarding attendants, as compared to the usual four per cent annual increase. Overall, I think the entire organisation has really benefitted from this programme.” Mr Ian Ang, Director of Finance and Business Support Royal Plaza on Scotts (From left) Mr Alex Fang (Stewarding Supervisor), Madam Jalilah Jantan (Housekeeping Attendant), Mr Abdul Subhan (Assistant Chief Engineer and President of FDAWU), Mr Prashant Shrestha (Business Development Manager), Mr Ian Ang (Director of Finance & Business Support) and Mr Yusof Hamzah (Director, Business Strategies). 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 68 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 68 4/19/11 10:54 PM 4/19/11 10:54 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 67 Inclusive Growth Programme Winning BigWith IGP Do you know of a programme that can assist companies to improve their productivity and gain better profts while at the same time enable workers to upskill and earn better wages? This win-win programme is none other than the Labour Movement’s Inclusive Growth Programme (IGP), which aims to help companies drive productivity and improve the skills and wages of low-wage workers. Royal Plaza on Scotts, a branch of the Food, Drinks and Allied Workers’ Union (FDAWU), can attest that this programme works. “The IGP defnitely serves its purpose. By improving work processes, it reduces manual work that requires a lot more man hours, resulting in an increase in productivity. Subsequently, as workers are freed from manual work duties, their capacity and ability to do other things will increase and they become better skilled workers. This will defnitely translate to higher pay,” said the company’s Director of Finance and Business Support Mr Ian Ang. By tapping on the IGP funding, Royal Plaza on Scotts embarked on two initiatives that have improved productivity as well as the working environment of the staff. One of the initiatives is the automated garbage system, where a rail track motor conveyor system is laid to transport the garbage bin uphill automatically. This has improved productivity by 50 per cent and has improved workplace safety for 25-year-old Stewarding Supervisor Mr Alex Fang. “Before the new equipment was installed, two persons were needed to manually push the garbage bin up a steep 100 metre slope. This was not only tiring, but dangerous as well, especially on rainy days. With this new equipment, we only need one person to perform the job by Stewarding Supervisor Mr Alex Fang shows off the automated garbage system. 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 67 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 67 4/20/11 4:58 PM 4/20/11 4:58 PM 66 CBF ECONOMY Cheaper Better Faster (CBF) In 2010, the Labour Movement launched the CBF initiative to push for sustainable growth through productivity improvements, in line with the call of the Economic Strategies Committee. Playing its role in increasing the productivity of the workforce, the Labour Movement will continue to promote awareness among unionised companies of the urgent need for the ‘Better’ to become ‘Cheaper’ (in unit production cost) and for the ‘Cheaper’ to become ‘Better’ (in innovation) to outmatch the competition. 2010: • 108 unionised companies across the manufacturing, services and public sectors embarked on CBF projects. • 10,200 workers gained from CBF. 2011: • Building on the momentum of 2010, to double the number of CBF companies and/or projects in 2011 and continue to promote gain-sharing. • With the additional resources under the National Productivity and Continuing Education Council (NPCEC), CBF will be further energised through targeting the 12 sectors identifed by the NPCEC. Care@Changi provides ease of travel for passengers with special needs. Faster With the initiation of iChangi, CAG has also proved they are ‘Faster’ in terms of adapting to the needs of today’s tech-savvy population. To cater to the increasing number of smart gadget users from all over the world, it launched the iChangi application in a bid to allow passengers to optimise the time spent at the airport. Mr Foo elaborated: “The iChangi app allows users to do quick searches for real-time information on arriving and departing fights; locate departure check-in rows, boarding gates and arrival baggage belts for their fights as well as key airport amenities through the 2D maps of Changi Airport; and subscribe to real-time updates such as changes to fight timing, baggage belt and boarding gate, allowing them to plan their time in the airport accordingly. “The app also comes with other useful information about Changi Airport, including the retail and dining options. Information about various airport facilities, services and Customs information will also be made available for our passengers and visitors.” The iChangi initiative also includes the one-stop Flight Check Kiosks. These are interactive touchscreen multimedia stations which serve to complement the airport fight information display boards, serve as a visitor guide as well as help passengers get around and plan their time. With all these initiatives, the Customer-Centric Initiative (CCI) Icon reported an improvement in their score in the latest Customer Satisfaction Index of Singapore from 71.6 to 73.7 despite the trend of increasing tourist arrivals to the country. 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 66 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 66 4/19/11 10:53 PM 4/19/11 10:53 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 65 “The IFS allows real-time service feedback at toilets, check-in, immigration, information counters as well as retail and F&B outlets. Supervisors can take concrete action immediately to acknowledge good performing staff or address unhappy customers.” The company also uses E-Inspection to evaluate maintenance productivity and the performance of its service staff. Since it came into effect, the number of faults detected has increased greatly, response time to breakdowns has improved by 30 per cent and productivity has increased. IFS, on the other hand, enables CAG’s partners, related agencies and businesses to do their part to raise service standards at the airport and achieve better resources planning, productivity improvement and service gap identifcation. In other words, this initiative helps the service and maintenance staff to do more with the same resources, therefore it is ‘Cheaper’. Mr Liew Yong Pee, 60, Senior Associate of Airport Operations at Terminal 3 shared how E-Inspection makes him more productive at work: “Since the launch of the E-Inspection initiative, I have noticed that I am now working much more effciently and at a faster speed. The E-Inspection system is very useful and allows immediate feedback to be sent promptly to our contractors. This will ensure that facilities are always kept in optimal condition and all passengers and visitors get the best service when they are at the airport.” Better CAG has also shown itself to be a ‘Better’ organisation with the launch of the Care@Changi (CaC) initiative which provides specialised services to passengers with special needs such as the wheelchair-bound, elderly and pregnant. It also adds a more meaningful dimension to the jobs of the frontline staff at the airport. Mr Foo elaborated: “CaC is a collaborative effort with a number of airport agencies and teams from Immigration, Security Screening, Ground Handling Agents, Taxi Services, and frontline staff at different touch points along the departure and arrival fow. “Pictograms depicting passengers who can make use of these special services have been incorporated into CaC signage and priority queuing lanes have been set up at these touch points. Service ambassadors in the airport terminals also help to guide these passengers. “In addition, CAG deploys wheelchairs and baby strollers for the convenience of passengers who need such services. These are provided free-of-charge and are available at strategic locations throughout the airport for easy pick-up and return.” Passenger giving her feedback using SWIFT. 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 65 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 65 4/20/11 4:58 PM 4/20/11 4:58 PM 64 CBF ECONOMY Cheaper Better Faster Changi Airport’s Service Soars To Greater Heights Enabling the use of iPhone or iPad to check when your fight is departing. Ensuring tip-top airport facilities for a pleasurable experience. Giving special care for your wheelchair-bound grandmother before she boards the plane. These are just some of the many Cheaper Better Faster (CBF) service initiatives that the Changi Airport Group (CAG) has implemented in its quest to achieve a breakthrough in customer productivity at Changi Airport – a target they have already attained. Cheaper One of the ‘Cheaper’ initiatives introduced is the Service Workforce Instant Feedback Transformation (SWIFT), a new automated feedback system that has smoothened and Customer using iChangi smartphone application. quickened the service fault fxing and customer feedback process to prevent it from escalating. SWIFT’s E-inspection and Instant Feedback System (IFS) components enable CAG’s staff to be more effcient and faster at their jobs while raising customer satisfaction levels. Mr Foo Sek Min, CAG’s Executive Vice President of Airport Management detailed: “E-Inspection tracks real-time working conditions of facilities in our terminals and ensures timely response to service lapses or facility faults. When a fault or service failure is discovered during routine inspections, the inspecting staff sends a report through a smartphone. This alerts the maintenance supervisor’s smartphone and an immediate decision can be made on the corrective action. 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 64 064-069 Growing Labour Movement KHL.indd 64 4/19/11 10:52 PM 4/19/11 10:52 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 63 CheaperBetterFasterEconomy 062-063 open CBFE KHL.indd 63 062-063 open CBFE KHL.indd 63 4/19/11 10:47 PM 4/19/11 10:47 PM 62 062-063 open CBFE KHL.indd 62 062-063 open CBFE KHL.indd 62 4/19/11 10:47 PM 4/19/11 10:47 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 61 Seng Han Thong Centric Director (Union) Alignment Director (NTUC 50) Zainudin Nordin Alignment Director (No Collar, Care and Share) Ong Keau Competency Director (Administration) Shona Tan-James Competency Director (Corporate Communications, Service Excellence) Cham Hui Fong Competency Director (Industrial Relations) Alignment Director (Silver Collar) Josephine Teo Centric Director (Staff) Alignment Director (Uth!

一。我们的人口不多，而劳动队伍的 素质却是全球数一数二的，至于失业 率，在所有国家中也属于最低之一。 我们没有任何天然资源，但我 们的劳动力经过教育、培训及开发 后，成为国家最宝贵的资产。我们土 地有限，人口密集，但大部分的人民 都拥有自己的房子，而且享有绿化、 清洁和安全的生活环境。 这些成就得来不易，是我们的 工友和人民、投资者和企业家，工会 及政府多年来努力和协作的成果。在 经济衰退时期，我们扭转劣势，把工 友和企业所受到的冲击，减到最低。 在经济起飞时期，我们一起促进经济 增长，分享成果。 林瑞生 全国职工总会秘书长 新加坡的劳资政协作方式，别 具一格，也发挥了很好的作用。它使 我们的经济，不断取得增长，工友和 人民也因此而一直分享到进步的成 果。 展望未来，我们要为自己、家 人和孩子们造就的事情还很多。然 而，前进的道路，越来越难走。未来 的世界，既有令人振奋的机会，也有 许多艰巨的挑战和未知数，例如环球 经济的重塑，人类寿命的延长和收入 差距的扩大等。 我们要不断取得成功，至关重 要的一点是要为未来做好准备。我们 的经济必须更具生产力和创新，我们 的劳动队伍必须拥有更高的技能和更 强的适应能力，劳资政三方必须更加 团结、更加强大。 工运也是如此。今天，我们可 以凭着处在的实力，为庆祝职总50岁 生日而引以为荣。我们的工会会员人

It enables us to keep growing our economy and keep sharing the fruits of our progress with our workers and our people. Looking ahead, there is much more we want to achieve for ourselves, our families and our children. However, the journey forward will only get harder. The world of the future offers not only exciting opportunities but also daunting challenges and uncertainties like the re-shaping of the global economy, a longer lifespan and a widening income gap. To keep succeeding, it is critical that we become FUTURE READY. Our economy must become more productive and innovative, our workforce more skillful and adaptable, and our tripartism more united and stronger. The same applies to the Labour Movement. Today, we are proud to celebrate our 50th birthday from a position of strength. Our union membership is growing. Our labour leadership is self-renewing. Our standing in the global labour fraternity is improving. But we are not and must not become complacent. We have started the LimSwee Say Secretary-General National Trades Union Congress This year, we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). We have come a long way. Singapore is a small market, yet our economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. Our population is small, yet our workforce is one of the best and our unemployment rate is among the lowest. We are not endowed with any natural resources but we educate, train and develop our manpower into our most precious asset. We have limited land with a dense population, yet we enjoy high home ownership and live in a green, clean and safe Singapore. These achievements have not come easy. They are the result of many years of hard work and team work – by our workers and people, investors and businesses, unions and Government. In bad times, we upturn the downturn together to minimise the pain on our workers and businesses. In good times, we grow the economic pie together and share the gains.

Ia adalah masa yang baik sekali bagi kami mengingati asas hubungan senyawa ini. Asas hubungan senyawa ini terletak dalam matlamat bersama yang dikongsi oleh kedua-dua NTUC dan PAP – untuk memperbaiki kehidupan pekerja di Singapura menerusi tindakan-tindakan, dasar-dasar dan program-program konkrit yang fokus untuk meningkatkan kepentingan jangka panjang pekerja. Hubungan senyawa ini adalah pilihan dan keputusan yang dibuat secara sedar oleh kedua-dua pihak. NTUC mengakui bahawa pemerintah PAP mengutamakan kebajikan pekerja, dan PAP mengiktiraf NTUC sebagai sebuah pergerakan buruh yang progresif yang menyokong dasar-dasar yang kekal berkesan untuk meningkatkan daya saing Singapura, yang akan memberi faedah kepada pekerja Singapura pada jangka panjang. Selama 50 tahun, kita telah menegaskan hubungan senyawa ini, kerana ia telah menjalani ujian masa dan banyak dugaan bersama-sama. Dugaan terbaru adalah kemelesetan 2008/2009 di mana pemerintah PAP sekali lagi bertindak berlandaskan falsafahnya untuk mengurangkan keperihan kepada pekerja menerusi Pakej Ketahanan yang besar dan meluas. Oleh itu saudara-saudara, sambil kita menyambut Hari Ulang Tahun Ke-50 kita pada Hari Buruh ini, marilah kita menegaskan semula peranan hubungan senyawa PAP dan NTUC dalam memberi kehidupan yang lebih baik kepada pekerja di Singapura. Selamat Hari Ulang Tahun Ke-50, NTUC! 034-041_John_message KHL.indd 37 034-041_John_message KHL.indd 37 4/19/11 10:14 PM 4/19/11 10:14 PM 36 MAY DAY MESSAGES pengiktirafan antarabangsa. Banyak pergerakan buruh di seluruh dunia telah menyedari bahawa pendekatan kita lebih membina untuk memajukan kebajikan dan kepentingan pekerja. Bagaimanakah kita dapat mencapai semua ini, walaupun berdepan dengan segala rintangan dan halangan? Faktor utama adalah jenama Singapura yang unik dalam kerjasama tiga pihak, suatu yang telah membuktikan keberkesanannya dalam menempuh banyak dugaan dan kemelesetan. Pada setiap kemelesetan, perkongsian tiga pihak kita yang kuat telah membolehkan kita pulih cepat untuk mengurangkan keperihan kepada pekerja. Ini diiktiraf dengan meluas. Apa yang kurang diketahui ialah bahawa asas kerjasama tiga pihak terletak dalam hubungan senyawa kita dengan Parti Tindakan Rakyat (PAP). Hubungan senyawa ini lahir pada 1961, apabila Barisan Sosialis berpisah daripada PAP dan bersekutu dengan SATU. NTUC juga diasaskan pada tahun yang sama, yang disokong oleh PAP. Malah, banyak anggota pengasas NTUC adalah anggota PAP. Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Kebangsaan (NTUC) menyambut Hari Ulang Tahun ke-50 kita pada tahun ini. Tidak banyak pertubuhan dapat bertahan selama setengah abad. Lebih sedikit lagi yang dapat berkembang maju sebegitu lama. Apabila NTUC diasaskan 50 tahun yang lalu, harapan kita muram. Dengan perpecahan Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Singapura ketika itu kepada NTUC dan Persatuan Kesatuan-kesatuan Sekerja Singapura (SATU), NTUC dianggap lebih lemah dan tidak mungkin berjaya. Sebahagian besar anggota kesatuan sekerja menyertai SATU yang pro-komunis dan tidak dengan NTUC. Pada waktu itu, tidak ramai berani meramalkan bahawa NTUC akan dapat hidup terus, apatah lagi menjangka yang kita dapat berkembang menjadi sebuah pergerakan buruh yang kuat dan progresif 50 tahun sesudah itu. Namun, inilah yang sebenarnya telah berlaku. Hari ini, pendekatan progresif kita untuk bekerja ke arah hasil yang menang-menang dalam aturan kerjasama tiga pihak yang membina telah mendapat John De Payva Presiden Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Kebangsaan MayDayMessages Labour Movement Annual 2011 034-041_John_message KHL.indd 36 034-041_John_message KHL.indd 36 4/19/11 10:14 PM 4/19/11 10:14 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 35 So brothers and sisters, as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary this May Day, let us re-affirm the role of the PAP-NTUC symbiotic relationship in delivering better lives for workers in Singapore. policies and programmes that focus on enhancing the long-term interests of workers. This symbiotic relationship is a conscious choice and decision on both sides. NTUC recognises that the PAP Government has the welfare of workers at heart, and PAP recognises NTUC as a progressive labour movement that supports sustainable policies to enhance Singapore’s competitiveness, which would benefit Singapore workers in the long run. For 50 years, we have affirmed this symbiotic relationship, as it has stood the test of time and many trials together. The most recent was the downturn of 2008/2009 where the PAP Government again acted upon its philosophy of minimising the pain to workers through the massive Resilience Package. So brothers and sisters, as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary this May Day, let us re-affirm the role of the PAP-NTUC symbiotic relationship in delivering better lives for workers in Singapore. Happy 50th birthday, NTUC! 034-041_John_message KHL.indd 35 034-041_John_message KHL.indd 35 4/19/11 10:13 PM 4/19/11 10:13 PM 34 MAY DAY MESSAGES How have we been able to achieve all this, against all odds? The key factor is our uniquely Singapore brand of tripartism, one that has proven itself through many trials and downturns. Every downturn, our strong tripartite partnership enabled us to recover swiftly to minimise the pain to workers. This is widely recognised. What is less well known is that the foundation for tripartism lies in our symbiotic relationship with the People’s Action Party (PAP). This symbiotic relationship was born in 1961, when the Barisan Sosialis broke away from PAP and was allied to SATU. NTUC was also founded in that same year, backed by PAP. In fact, many of the founding members of NTUC were PAP members. Today, this symbiotic relationship celebrates its 50th Anniversary as well. It is an opportune time for us to remember the basis for this symbiotic relationship. The foundation for this symbiotic relationship lies in the common goal that both NTUC and PAP share – to better the lives of workers in Singapore through concrete actions, John De Payva President National Trades Union Congress The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) celebrates our 50th Anniversary this year. Not many organisations manage to survive for half a century. Far fewer manage to flourish for so long. When NTUC was founded 50 years ago, the outlook was bleak for us. With the split of the Singapore Trades Union Congress then into NTUC and the Singapore Association of Trade Unions (SATU), NTUC was very much the underdog. The vast majority of the union ground was with pro-communist SATU and not with NTUC. At that point, not many would have dared to predict the survival of NTUC, much less expect us to grow into a strong and progressive labour movement 50 years on. Yet this is precisely what happened. Today, our progressive approach to work towards win-win outcomes in a constructive tripartite arrangement has gained international recognition. Many union movements around the world have come to realise that our approach is more constructive to furthering the welfare and interests of workers.

Dalam tahun-tahun yang baik, kita telah bersama-sama melatih tenaga kerja, mewujudkan pekerjaan baik dan bersiap sedia untuk masa depan. Para majikan telah juga memberi ganjaran kepada pekerja dengan kenaikan gaji dan bonus atas sumbangan mereka. Pergerakan buruh yang dipimpin NTUC telah memainkan peranan penting dalam mewujudkan sekitaran yang menarik pelaburan, dalam menyusun semula dan meningkatkan ekonomi, dalam mewujudkan pekerjaan yang lebih baik dan mendapatkan faedah dan gaji yang lebih baik untuk pekerja. Sebagai sebuah ekonomi yang kecil dan terbuka, kita akan terus terjejas oleh perubahan dalam sekitaran ekonomi global. Kerjasama rapat kita, fleksibiliti dan ketahanan kita mesti dipupuk dan diperkukuhkan selanjutnya untuk membolehkan kita menampung dan mengatasi cabaran-cabaran masa depan agar kita dapat mengekalkan pertumbuhan. Satu daripada cabaran-cabaran utama kita ialah untuk menaikkan produktiviti sebanyak dua hingga tiga peratus setahun untuk menyokong pertumbuhan pendapatan pekerja dari segi sebenar sebanyak 30% pada tahun 2020. Sementara tanggungjawab asas pengurusan adalah menerajui pembaikan produktiviti, sokongan dan kerjasama kesatuan sekerja dan pekerja genting. NTUC telah mengambil langkah utama dengan memperjuangkan sebuah ekonomi yang berkos lebih rendah, lebih baik dan lebih pantas. Di peringkat pekerja, para pemimpin kesatuan telah bekerja dengan majikan mengenai inisiatif produktiviti dan perkongsian keuntungan untuk pekerja. Lebih banyak majikan mesti mengambil inisiatif menerajui gerakan produktiviti, menarik minat pekerja mereka dan berusaha memupuk budaya produktiviti di tempat kerja mereka. Cabaran kedua adalah berkongsi hasil produktiviti secara adil di kalangan semua pekerja untuk memastikan pertumbuhan yang inklusif. Majikan perlu mengurus kepelbagaian untuk mengukuhkan perpaduan di tempat kerja dan membolehkan setiap orang menyumbang kebolehan mereka dengan sebaik-baiknya. Program Pertumbuhan Inklusif NTUC akan memberi kesan yang besar dalam menolong membina sebuah tenaga kerja yang inklusif. Saya menyeru majikan agar menyokong usaha ini. Cabaran ketiga adalah untuk memberi semua pekerja peluang meningkatkan kemahiran mereka agar mereka dapat terus menyumbang dan bekerja selagi mereka berupaya berbuat demikian. Ini termasuk profesional, pengurus, eksekutif dan teknisyen (PMET) yang membentuk 52% daripada tenaga kerja kita. PMET juga perlu mengemaskini dan meningkatkan kemahiran mereka dalam ekonomi yang cepat berubah. Hasil usaha Agensi Pembangunan Tenaga Kerja Singapura (WDA), lebih banyak peluang latihan dan laluan peningkatan kemahiran kini disediakan kepada semua pekerja. Pekerja dan majikan mesti memanfaatkan peluang-peluang ini dan merubah tenaga kerja untuk menjadi tenaga kerja yang berkemahiran tinggi. Dalam tempoh 50 tahun yang lalu, pergerakan buruh semakin lama semakin kuat. Ia telah memainkan peranan penting mewujudkan iklim hubungan perusahaan yang harmoni yang telah menyokong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan membawa banyak faedah kepada pekerja. Ia telah juga dapat melawan tren kemerosoton keanggotaan kesatuan yang dialami oleh pergerakan-pergerakan buruh di seluruh dunia dengan mengembangkannya menjadi sebuah pergerakan yang mempunyai 60 kesatuan kerabat dan 615,000 anggota. Bersama-sama 12 syarikat sosialnya dan 4 pertubuhan berkaitan, NTUC juga membantu anggotanya untuk menjimatkan setiap dolar yang mereka belanjakan dan meningkatkan daya kerja mereka. NTUC sesungguhnya telah mencapai sebahagian besar daripada visinya untuk menjamin kehidupan yang lebih baik kepada semua pekerja. Bagi pihak 2,000 anggota korporat Persekutuan Majikan Kebangsaan Singapura, saya ingin mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun ke-50 kepada NTUC dan pergerakan buruh. SNEF berharap bahawa perkongsian berterusan kita dapat meningkatkan daya penghasilan, dan mewujudkan dan mengekalkan pertumbuhan inklusif. 026-033_StephanLee_message KHL.indd 29 026-033_StephanLee_message KHL.indd 29 4/20/11 4:56 PM 4/20/11 4:56 PM 28 MAY DAY MESSAGES semula ke tempat lain dan digaji semula. Akibat kemelesetan 2001, kita teruskan usaha menyusun semula ekonomi dan gaji untuk mengukh-kan daya saing kita. Dalam kemelesetan 2008/2009 yang paling akhir ini, kerjasama tiga pihak yang kuat dalam mengurus tenaga kerja berlebihan sekali lagi ternyata berkesan. Pemerintah menggunakan simpanan negara untuk skim Kredit Kerja untuk menyokong pekerjaan. Kira-kira 4,800 majikan dan 334,000 pekerja mendapat faedah daripada latihan di bawah Program Kemahiran bagi Peningkatan dan Ketahanan (SPUR) dan sebanyak 26,500 pekerja bekerja mengikut skim minggu kerja pendek atau pemberhentian sementara pada satu ketika untuk menolong syarikat memotong kos dan mengelakkan pemberhentian kerja. Pemberhentian kerja menjadi sederhana kepada 20,000. Mujurlah, pemulihan datang dan kita dapat cepat merebut peluang pertumbuhan dengan tenaga kerja yang berkemahiran lebih baik. Kita telah menghadapi setiap kemelesetan bersama-sama, mengambil langkah-langkah tegas untuk membantu Pada 2010, ekonomi Singapura bingkas dengan kukuh sebanyak 14.5% selepas menguncup 0.8% pada 2009. Pemulihan yang kuat ini disebabkan pada sebahagiannya oleh kerjasama tiga pihak yang kuat yang wujud di kalangan dan di antara pemerintah, pergerakan buruh dan majikan. Dalam tempoh 25 tahun yang lalu, rakan-rakan kerjasama tiga pihak telah menghadapi empat kemelesetan bersama-sama dan mengambil langkah-langkah untuk membantu syarikat dan pekerja mengharungi setiap krisis. Pada 1987, kita mengambil langkah drastik memotong kadar sumbangan CPF majikan sebanyak 15 peratusan mata untuk memperbaiki daya saing kos gaji kita. Ini sangatlah sukar bagi pekerja tetapi pergerakan buruh mempertahankan langkah itu. Pada 1998, di mana bilangan pekerja yang diberhentikan kerja mencapai kadar tertinggi sebanyak 29,000, kita membangunkan Garis Panduan Tiga Pihak mengenai Mengurus Tenaga Kerja Berlebihan dan NTUC membuat inisiatif untuk melancarkan Program Pembangunan Semula Kemahiran untuk membantu pekerja mendapat kemahiran baru, ditugasi MayDayMessages Labour Movement Annual 2011 Stephen Lee Presiden Persekutuan Majikan Kebangsaan Singapura 026-033_StephanLee_message KHL.indd 28 026-033_StephanLee_message KHL.indd 28 4/20/11 4:56 PM 4/20/11 4:56 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 27 SNEF looks forward to our continuing partnership to raise productivity, and to create and sustain inclusive growth. upgrading the economy, in creating better jobs and in securing better benefits and wages for workers. As a small and open economy, we will continue to be susceptible to changes in the global economic environment. Our close cooperation, flexibility and our resilience must be nurtured and further strengthened to enable us to cope with and overcome future challenges so that we can sustain growth. One of our key challenges is to raise productivity by two to three per cent per annum to support income growth of workers in real terms by 30 per cent in the year 2020. While it is the primary responsibility of management to lead in productivity improvements, the support and cooperation of unions and workers are crucial. NTUC has taken the lead by championing a Cheaper Better Faster economy. On the ground, union leaders have been working with management on productivity improvement initiatives and gain-sharing for workers. More employers must take the initiative to lead in the productivity drive, engage their workers and seek to entrench a culture of productivity at their workplaces. A second challenge is to share the fruits of productivity fairly among all workers to ensure inclusive growth. Employers need to manage diversity to strengthen cohesion at the workplace and enable everyone to contribute to the best of his or her abilities. NTUC’s Inclusive Growth Programme will go a long way in helping to build an inclusive workforce. I call on employers to support this effort. A third challenge is to give all workers the opportunities to upgrade their skills so that they can continue to contribute and work for as long as they are able. This includes the professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs), who form 52 percent of our workforce. PMETs also need to update and upgrade their skills in the fast-changing economy. Thanks to the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), more training opportunities and skill upgrading paths are now available to all workers. Workers and employers alike must make use of these opportunities and transform the workforce into one that is highly skilled. Over the last 50 years, the Labour Movement has gone from strength to strength. It has played a vital role in creating a harmonious industrial relations climate that has supported economic growth and brought many benefits to workers. It has also defied the global trend of declining union membership by growing it to a movement of 60 affiliated unions and 615,000 members. Together with its 12 social enterprises and four related organisations, NTUC also helps its members to stretch their dollars and enhance their employability. NTUC has indeed achieved the better part of its vision of securing a better life for all workers. On behalf of the 2,000 corporate members of the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), I wish NTUC and the Labour Movement a very happy 50th Anniversary. SNEF looks forward to our continuing partnership to raise productivity, and to create and sustain inclusive growth. 026-033_StephanLee_message KHL.indd 27 026-033_StephanLee_message KHL.indd 27 4/20/11 4:55 PM 4/20/11 4:55 PM 26 MAY DAY MESSAGES In the most recent 2008/2009 recession, the strong tripartite cooperation in managing excess manpower was again evident. Government drew on its reserves for the Jobs Credit scheme to support employment. About 4,800 employers and 334,000 workers benefitted from the training under the Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience (SPUR) and as many as 26,500 workers went on shorter workweek or temporary layoff at one point to help companies cut costs and avoid retrenchments. Retrenchments moderated to 20,000. Fortunately, the recovery came and we were able to seize growth opportunities quickly with a better skilled workforce. We have faced each recession together, taken tough measures to help companies stay afloat, saved jobs and helped workers to upgrade. In the good years, we have together trained the workforce, created good jobs and prepared for the future. Employers have also rewarded workers with wage increases and bonuses for their contributions. The Labour Movement led by NTUC has played a key role in creating an environment that attracts investments, in restructuring and Stephen Lee President Singapore National Employers Federation In 2010, the Singapore economy rebounded strongly by 14.5 per cent after contracting by 0.8 per cent in 2009. The strong recovery is due in part to the strong tripartism that exists among and between the Government, the Labour Movement and employers. Over the last 25 years, the tripartite partners had faced four recessions together and taken measures to help both companies and workers ride through each crisis. In 1987, we took the drastic measure of cutting employers’ Central Provident Fund (CPF) contribution rate by 15 percentage points to improve our wage cost competitiveness. This was very difficult on workers but the Labour Movement held the ground. In 1998, where the number of workers retrenched hit a record high of 29,000, we developed the Tripartite Guidelines on Managing Excess Manpower and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) initiated the Skills Redevelopment Programme to help workers to be re-skilled, re-deployed and re-employed. In the aftermath of the recession in 2001, we pressed on with economic and wage restructuring to strengthen our competitiveness.

Dalam perkara ini, pendidikan dan latihan berterusan (CET) memainkan peranan penting. Khususnya, kami sedang berusaha melalui kesatuan sekerja untuk mendekati para pekerja bergaji rendah supaya mereka mendapat faedah daripada skim Sokongan Latihan Daya Kerja (WTS). Menggalakkan mereka tampil ke hadapan dan menyertai program-program peningkatan di bawah WTS akan menjadi asas dalam membantu para pekerja ini meningkatkan produktiviti dan menambah gaji mereka. Tambahan Pendapatan Daya Kerja (WIS) serta Bonus Khas Daya Kerja (Workfare Special Bonus) akan membantu menggalakkan pekerja sedemikian untuk terus bekerja. Usaha kami lebih daripada menolong para pekerja biasa. Baru-baru ini, kita telah memperkenalkan satu program menyeluruh yang baru - Program Latihan Kemahiran bagi Mencapai Kecemerlangan (STEP) – untuk menyediakan sokongan latihan yang lebih khusus bagi golongan karyawan, pengurus, eksekutif dan teknisyen (PMET). STEP merangkumi institusi-institusi terbaik dan kursus-kursus bermutu lebih tinggi yang akan membantu meningkatkan kebolehan dan keupayaan diambil kerja golongan PMET kita. Rakan-rakan tiga pihak juga telah bekerjasama untuk mempersiapkan para majikan dan para pekerja bagi perlaksanaan dasar pengambilan semula pekerja. Saya dengan sukacita memaklumkan bahawa sebahagian besar majikan, terutamanya syarikat-syarikat yang lebih besar dan firma-firma yang mempunyai kesatuan sekerja, telah mengamalkan Garis Panduan Tiga Pihak bagi Pengambilan Semula Pekerja Lanjut Usia. Bagi mereka yang memerlukan bantuan dan nasihat, rakan-rakan tiga pihak menyediakan bantuan lebih khusus menerusi program “ACCELERETE” (Menyegerakan Pengambilan Semula Pekerja Melalui Usaha-usaha Tiga Pihak). Program ini bertujuan membantu para majikan untuk menyelaraskan dasar sumber manusia dan amalan pengambilan semula pekerja mereka dengan Garis Panduan Tiga Pihak. Sepanjang lima puluh tahun yang lalu, NTUC telah berjaya dalam usahanya untuk melindungi dan mempertingkatkan kepentingan para pekerja Singapura. Sebagai anggota rakan tiga pihak, NTUC juga telah membuat sumbangan-sumbangan penting terhadap pembangunan negara, serta kemajuan ekonomi dan sosial Singapura. Saya ucapkan tahniah dan syabas kepada NTUC di atas segala pencapaiannya. Perayaan penting bagi NTUC ini juga merupakan masa yang tepat bagi rakan-rakan tiga pihak mengikrarkan semula komitmen kami terhadap mengekalkan semangat kerja sama kami yang telah memanfaatkan perniagaan, para pekerja dan ekonomi kita. Di tahap selanjutnya dalam perjalanan yang berterusan ini, kita harus terus memanfaatkan perkongsian tiga pihak kami yang kukuh untuk meningkatkan produktiviti kita dan mencapai pertumbuhan inklusif bagi faedah semua pihak. Selamat menyambut ulang tahun ke-50 NTUC, dan Selamat Menyambut Hari Buruh kepada semua!

Ekonomi Singapura dijangka tumbuh antara 4% dan 6% tahun ini. Bagaimanapun, mungkin terjadi turun naik yang besar dalam ekonomi sejagat dengan krisis di Jepun, dan kegelisahan yang sedang berlaku di Timur Tengah. Ekonomi-ekonomi juga sedang menghadapi tekanan inflasi. Kita mesti memantau dengan teliti perkembangan-perkembangan ini dan bersedia untuk bergerak balas jika pertumbuhan sejagat goyah. Walaupun terdapat cabaran-cabaran sedemikian, pemulihan ekonomi kita yang teguh dan yang mendahului ekonomi-ekonomi lain telah menempatkan kita di tempat yang baik bagi mencapai visi kita untuk mengubah ekonomi kita melalui peningkatan produktiviti dan mewujudkan pertumbuhan inklusif. Syarikat-syarikat perlu menggalakkan peningkatan produktiviti secara proaktif dengan mengamalkan inovasi dan mengubah produk serta proses mereka. Para pekerja dan kesatuan sekerja juga harus memainkan peranan mereka Tahun lalu, ekonomi Singapura tumbuh sebanyak 14.5%. Ini dicapai sejurus selepas kita menghadapi kemelesetan ekonomi dunia yang terburuk semenjak kemerdekaaan. Pemulihan yang mengkagumkan ini berjaya dicapai terutama sekali kerana rakan-rakan tiga pihak kita – Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Kebangsaan (NTUC) dan Persekutuan Majikan Kebangsaan Singapura (SNEF) – telah bekerja rapat dengan Pemerintah untuk melaksanakan dasar-dasar yang betul dengan pantas. Rakan-rakan tiga pihak telah berganding bahu membantu para majikan menyelamatkan pekerjaan dan mempersiapkan para pekerja bagi pemulihan ekonomi dengan mempertingkatkan kemahiran mereka sewaktu kemelesetan. Hasilnya, kadar pengangguran keseluruhan merosot kepada 2.2% pada 2010, berbanding 3% pada 2009. Kadar pekerjaan keseluruhan meningkat 3.9% dengan 115,900 lagi pekerjaan diwujudkan. Kini, lebih ramai warga Singapura mempunyai pekerjaan berbanding dahulu.

Our efforts go beyond helping rank-and-file workers. Recently, we also introduced a new comprehensive programme – the Skills Training for Excellence Programme (STEP) – to provide more focused training support to professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs). STEP brings together best-in-class institutions and higher quality courses which will help enhance the capabilities and employability of our PMETs. The tripartite partners have also worked together to prepare employers and workers for re-employment. I am heartened to note that most employers, particularly the larger companies and the unionised firms, have adopted the Tripartite Guidelines on the Re-employment of Older Employees. For those who need help and advice, the tripartite partners are providing targeted assistance with the “ACCELERETE” (ACCELErating Re-Employment through Tripartite Efforts) programme. The programme aims to help employers align their human resource policies and re-employment practices to the Tripartite Guidelines. NTUC has come a long way in the past 50 years to safeguard and enhance the interests of Singapore workers. As a tripartite partner, NTUC has also made significant contributions towards nation-building, and the economic and social progress of Singapore. I congratulate and commend NTUC on its achievements. NTUC’s milestone celebration is also an apt occasion for the tripartite partners to re-affirm our commitment towards maintaining our collaborative spirit which has benefited businesses, workers and the economy. In the next phase of this ongoing journey, we should continue to leverage on our strong tripartite partnership to raise our productivity and achieve inclusive growth for the benefit of all.

Economies are also facing inflationary pressures. We must remain vigilant in monitoring these developments and be ready to respond if global growth falters. Despite these challenges, our strong headstart in the recovery has positioned us well to achieve our vision of transforming our economy through productivity enhancements and creating inclusive growth. Companies will need to proactively drive productivity improvement by innovating and transforming their products and processes. Workers and unions must also play their part by adopting new work methods, re-skilling and up-skilling. In this regard, continuing education and training (CET) plays an important role. In particular, we are working through the unions to reach out to low-wage workers so that they can benefit from the Workfare Training Support (WTS) scheme. Encouraging them to come forward and participate in the upgrading programmes under WTS will be fundamental in helping these workers improve their productivity and raise their wages. The Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) as well as Last year, Singapore’s economy grew by 14.5 per cent. This came on the back of the worst global recession we had ever seen since independence. The remarkable turnaround was made possible, primarily because our tripartite partners - the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) – worked in close concert with the Government to implement the right policies swiftly. The tripartite partners worked together to help employers save jobs and prepare workers for the recovery by using the downturn to upgrade their skills. As a result, overall unemployment rate improved in 2010 to 2.2 per cent, compared to 3 per cent in 2009. Overall employment increased by 3.9 per cent with 115,900 jobs added. More Singaporeans are employed today than ever before. Our strong tripartite partnership has once again proven to be Singapore’s best strategy for weathering the uncertain economic winds. Singapore’s economy is expected to grow by between 4 per cent and 6 per cent this year.

Pada jangka panjang, bagaimana Singapura dapat mencapai kemajuan yang baik bergantung pada dasar-dasar dan keadaan politik kita. Kita perlu melaksanakan dasar-dasar yang betul – untuk mengubah ekonomi, meningkatkan produktiviti dan mempertingkatkan diri para pekerja kita. Kita juga perlu mempunyai sistem politik yang betul – untuk menghasilkan pemerintah yang mempunyai dasar-dasar yang mantap dan persekitaran yang stabil bagi pertumbuhan dan keyakinan dalam prospek jangka panjang Singapura. Selama bertahun-tahun, Singapura telah mencapai kejayaan kerana pemerintah yang baik dan dasar-dasar yang baik telah dapat mewujudkan pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang lebih baik dan kehidupan yang lebih baik, dan ini telah mengukuhkan lagi sokongan bagi pemerintah yang baik berserta dasar-dasar yang baik. Kita perlu memastikan lingkaran yang baik ini diteruskan. Kami ingin membangun bukan untuk tujuan lain tetapi semata-mata kerana untuk mempertingkatkan taraf hidup rakyat kita di semua peringkat lapisan masyarakat. Tanpa pertumbuhan, kita akan kekurangan sumber untuk melabur untuk masa depan kita, dan untuk membantu rakyat Singapura yang memerlukan. Walau bagaimanapun, walaupun terdapat pertumbuhan, kita harus gigih berusaha untuk membantu semua rakyat Singapura meraih faedah: menerusi program-program sosial seperti pemilikan rumah, pendidikan dan penjagaan kesihatan yang termampu, serta menerusi langkah-langkah khas seperti pakej “Menjana dan Mengongsi Pertumbuhan” apabila ekonomi mencatatkan pertumbuhan yang amat baik. Kita juga mempunyai skim Daya Kerja untuk meningkatkan lagi pendapatan para pekerja bergaji rendah, dan menggalakkan mereka berusaha untuk mempertingkatkan diri mereka. Di samping itu, Bonus Khas Daya Kerja yang diumumkan dalam Belanjawan baru-baru ini akan memberi dorongan tambahan kepada para pekerja ini sepanjang tiga tahun akan datang, terutama sekali kepada para pekerja lebih tua. Dari masa ke masa, kami akan terus membaiki skim Daya Kerja supaya lebih ramai pekerja mendapat manfaat daripadanya. Tetapi, cara yang paling berkesan untuk terus meningkatkan pendapatan adalah menerusi peningkatan kemahiran dan produktiviti. Rakan-rakan tiga pihak amat fokus dalam perkara ini, dan Majlis Produktiviti dan Pendidikan Berterusan Kebangsaan (NPCEC) sedang menunjukkan kemajuan yang baik. Pemerintah sedang melabur dengan banyaknya dalam Pendidikan dan Latihan Berterusan (CET), bagi kedua-dua para pekerja bawahan dan atasan serta kumpulan Profesional, Pengurus, Eksekutif dan Teknisyen (PMET). Perusahaan persatuan, perniagaan, kesatuan sekerja dan agensi-agensi pemerintah sedang bekerjasama, sektor demi sektor, untuk meningkatkan pekerjaan dan kemahiran para pekerja. Saya galakkan para pekerja supaya mengambil peluang CET, untuk menguasai kemahiran baru, dan mendapatkan faedah daripada pekerjaan yang menawarkan gaji yang lebih baik yang kita wujudkan. Politik kita telah menjaga kepentingan para pekerja kita. Politik bukan sahaja dari segi parti politik dan pilihan raya, tetapi dari segi rakyat Singapura memahami apa yang penting bagi masa depan mereka, dan menyokong pemimpin-pemimpin yang akan bekerja bersama mereka demi masa depan yang cerah bagi mereka. Dan dari segi menjunjung institusi-institusi utama seperti rakan-rakan tiga pihak, agar kita berdaya tahan apabila menghadapi cabaran, dan bangkit daripada krisis dengan lebih kukuh serta bersatu. Kesatuan-kesatuan sekerja kita membuat sumbangan yang besar. Gerakan buruh merupakan rakan utama dalam kejayaan Singapura sepanjang lima dekad yang lalu. Kini, pada ulang tahun ke-50 NTUC iaitu pada tahun ini, memang tepat masanya untuk rakyat Singapura mengingati dan menghargai segala pengorbanan dan sumbangan kesatuan-kesatuan sekerja dan para pekerja selama ini. Tahun ini juga menandakan tahun yang ke-50 bagi perkongsian PAP dan NTUC. Perhubungan simbiotik yang unik ini telah melahirkan secara berturut-turut pemerintah-pemerintah PAP yang telah memperbaiki dengan banyaknya kehidupan para pekerja. Para pekerja mempunyai suara yang kuat dalam proses melakar dasar-dasar negara, dan NTUC telah mewakili para pekerja dengan cara yang lebih membina dan berkesan berbanding dengan kebanyakan negara lain. Marilah kita terus bekerja bersama-sama untuk menjana pertumbuhan bagi ekonomi kita, mewujudkan lebih banyak pekerjaan yang baik dan memastikan masa depan lebih cerah pada tahun-tahun mendatang. Saya ucapkan selamat Hari Buruh kepada semua rakyat Singapura. 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 13 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 13 4/19/11 9:53 PM 4/19/11 9:53 PM 12 MAY DAY MESSAGES 2010 adalah tahun yang baik bagi Singapura dan para pekerjanya. Ekonomi negara tumbuh dengan kukuh dan banyak pekerjaan baru diwujudkan di banyak sektor. Para pekerja menikmati bayaran gaji dan bonus yang baik, dan kadar sumbangan CPF akan meningkat kepada 36%. Dengan pemulihan ekonomi yang kukuh ini, memang wajar syarikat-syarikat memberikan ganjaran setimpal kepada para pekerja. Beginilah caranya di Singapura, di mana kita semua – para pengurus dan pekerja, majikan dan pergerakan buruh, pemerintah dan rakyat – bersatu pada masa-masa sukar, dan berkongsi manfaatnya di waktu senang. Memandang ke hadapan, masa depan kita adalah cerah, namun masih ada awan mendung. Ekonomi Amerika Syarikat sedang bertambah pulih. Walau bagaimanapun, di Eropah, Portugal pula menghadapi tekanan selepas Greece dan Ireland. Masalah-masalah yang dihadapi negara-negara tersebut dan mungkin juga ekonomi-ekonomi Eropah yang lain akan menjejas keseluruhan Kesatuan Eropah (EU) untuk beberapa waktu mendatang. Kejadian tsunami dan krisis nuklear di Jepun baru-baru ini akan menjejas ekonomi beberapa negara di rantau ini. Pergolakan politik di Timur Tengah telah menyebabkan kenaikan pada harga tenaga dan berkemungkinan menyebabkan ketidakstabilan di rantau penting itu dengan akibat yang lebih serius. Mujur, rantau Asia dijangka kekal mantap dan bertenaga, dirangsang China dan India. Ekonomi Singapura dijangka terus kukuh pada tahun ini. Hasil Kasar Dalam Negeri (GDP) kita meningkat sebanyak 8.5% pada suku pertama tahun ini. Perniagaan sedang melihat permintaan yang tinggi dan memerlukan lebih ramai pekerja. Jadi, keadaan pasaran buruh dijangka terus berdaya saing. Firma-firma akan harus meningkatkan inovasi produk, mengubah cara beroperasi dan mempertingkatkan kemahiran pekerja mereka untuk kekal bersaing. Kadar inflasi telah naik lebih tinggi daripada apa yang kita inginkan tetapi diharapkan ia akan menjadi lebih sederhana kemudiannya, pada tahun ini. Nilai dolar Singapura yang lebih tinggi akan membantu mengurangkan kesan inflasi yang diimport. Para peniaga telah menyambut baik usaha pemerintah untuk memastikan harga barang-barang keperluan asas tidak dinaikkan. Pakej “Menjana dan Mengongsi Pertumbuhan” bernilai 3.2 bilion dapat membantu keluarga-keluarga menangani kos hidup yang lebih tinggi.

We also need the right politics – to produce governments that pursue sound policies, a stable environment for growth and confidence in Singapore’s long-term prospects. Singapore has succeeded for many years because good government and good policies have led to better jobs and better lives, which in turn consolidated support for good government and good policies. We have to keep this virtuous cycle going. We aim to grow not for its own sake, but so as to raise the standards of living of our people across the board. Without growth, we would lack resources to invest in our future, and to help Singaporeans in need. But even with growth, we must make a concerted effort to enable all Singaporeans to benefit: through social programmes like home ownership, education and affordable health care, as well as through special measures like the “Grow & Share” package when the economy does exceptionally well. We also have Workfare to enhance the income of low-wage workers, and encourage them to make the effort to upgrade themselves. In addition, the Workfare Special Bonus in the recent Budget will give an extra boost to these workers over the next three years, especially older ones. Over time, we will continue improving the Workfare scheme to benefit more workers. But the most effective way to keep on raising incomes is through upgrading skills and productivity. The tripartite partners are focused on this, and the National Productivity and Continuing Education Council (NPCEC) is making good progress. The Government is investing heavily in Continuous Education and Training (CET), for both rank-and-file workers as well as professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs). Industry associations, businesses, unions and government agencies are working together, sector by sector, to upgrade jobs and workers’ skills. I encourage workers to take up the CET opportunities, master new skills, and benefit from the better-paying jobs that we are creating. Our politics have looked after the interests of our workers. Politics not just in the sense of parties and elections, but in the sense of Singaporeans understanding what their future depends on, and supporting leaders who will work with them to secure their future. And in the sense of upholding key institutions like the tripartite partners, so that we are resilient when confronted by challenges, and emerge from crises tougher and more united. Our unions make a major contribution. The Labour Movement has been a key partner in Singapore’s success over the last five decades. In this 50th Anniversary year of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), it is timely for Singaporeans to remember and appreciate the sacrifices and contributions of unions and workers all these years. This year also marks 50 years of the PAP-NTUC partnership. This unique symbiotic relationship has produced successive PAP Governments that have improved the lives of workers beyond recognition. Workers have had a strong voice in national policy-making, and the NTUC has represented workers more constructively and effectively than in most other countries. Let us continue working together to grow the economy, create more good jobs and secure a brighter future together for many years to come. I wish all Singaporeans a Happy May Day. 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 11 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 11 4/19/11 9:51 PM 4/19/11 9:51 PM 10 MAY DAY MESSAGES 2010 has been a good year for Singapore and its workers. The economy grew robustly, and many jobs were created across many sectors. Workers enjoyed good wage settlements and bonuses, and the Central Provident Fund (CPF) rate is going up to 36 per cent. Given this strong rebound, it was right for companies to reward workers fairly. This is the Singapore way, where all of us – managers and workers, employers and unions, Government and the people – stand together in bad times, and share the benefits in good times. Looking ahead, our prospects are bright, but there are some storm clouds on the horizon. The United States (US) economy is turning a corner. But in Europe, Portugal is now under pressure, after Greece and Ireland. Troubles in these and potentially other European economies will hold back the entire European Union (EU) for some time to come. Japan’s recent tsunami and nuclear crises will have some effect on regional economies. Upheavals in the Middle East have already pushed up energy prices and can potentially destabilise a crucial region of the world, with even graver consequences. Fortunately, Asia should remain stable and vibrant, boosted by China and India. Singapore’s economy should continue to do well this year. Our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 8.5 per cent in the first quarter. Businesses are seeing high demand, and needing more workers. Hence, the labour market is expected to remain tight. Firms will have to innovate their products, restructure their operations and upgrade their workers to remain competitive. Inflation has been higher than we wished, but hopefully will moderate later this year. The stronger Singapore dollar will help to mitigate imported inflation. Businesses have responded well to the Government’s efforts to hold down prices of basic essentials. The 3.2 billion “Grow & Share” package will help households cope with the higher cost of living. For most lower and middle-income households, the package should more than make up for the higher cost of living this year. In the long term, how well Singapore does depends on our policies and politics. We have to implement the right policies – to transform the economy, raise Lee Hsien Loong Prime Minister MayDayMessages Labour Movement Annual 2011 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 10 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 10 4/19/11 9:51 PM 4/19/11 9:51 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 9 MayDayMessages Prime Minister Manpower Minister Singapore National Employers Federation President NTUC President NTUC Secretary-General 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 9 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 9 4/19/11 9:51 PM 4/19/11 9:51 PM 8 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 8 008-017 Lee Hsien loong_ message KHL.indd 8 4/19/11 9:50 PM 4/19/11 9:50 PM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 7 在庆祝2011年劳动节的此刻，身为职工运动的一份子，我们: 认同环球竞争将变得更为激烈，而劳资政关系是新加坡最大的 优势。 重申就业是最好的福利，全民就业是给予工友最好的保障。 我们在此决议： 提升我们的劳动队伍，以便在新的环球经济中保持领先地位； 建立一个更好、更快和更有效益的经济模式，以便继续为工友 创造良好的就业机会； 通过提升技能、提高生产力和鼓励创新，确保实际工资持续增长； 确保增长是具有包容性，能让所有工友，尤其是低收入工友、重返 工作岗位的妇女、年长工友，以及合约与临时工友都能受惠； 协助新加坡人更好地应对通货膨胀，教导他们如何通过职总社会 企业及其伙伴节省金钱；更重要的是， 将我们转型为一个为未来做好准备的职工运动。 让我们重申： 我们将同国际劳工运动团结一致； 维持别具一格、团结一致的劳资政协作关系； 维持我们与人民行动党的共生关系，以便为工友、企业和经济创造 三赢局面。 在我们庆祝职工运动50周年的当儿，我们誓言共同努力为未来做好 准备，让所有新加坡人可以为更好的工作、更高的工资和更美好的 生活而奋斗。 2011年劳动节决议案 004-007 May Day Resolution KHL.indd 7 004-007 May Day Resolution KHL.indd 7 4/20/11 12:26 AM 4/20/11 12:26 AM 6 MAY DAY RESOLUTION 2011 2011 MayDayResolution2011 Labour Movement Annual 2011 004-007 May Day Resolution KHL.indd 6 004-007 May Day Resolution KHL.indd 6 4/20/11 12:25 AM 4/20/11 12:25 AM LABOUR MOVEMENT ANNUAL 2011 5 PADA HARI BURUH 2011 INI, KAMI, DALAM PERGERAKAN BURUH: Mengakui bahawa persaingan global akan hanya menjadi lebih sukar, Dan kerjasama tiga pihak adalah kelebihan Singapura yang paling kuat.
