Set up in 18th August 1980, the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Academic Staff Union (NPASU) represents the interest of academic staff in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. NPASU is a legal entity registered as a Trade Union with the Registrar of Trade Unions. With members exceeding 50% of academic staff strength, we have the legal right to represent members in industrial relation matters.

We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with management where both parties agree to promote harmonious industrial relations.

The principal objective of the Union is to regulate relations between the members and their employer for the following reasons:-

(i)  to improve the working conditions of the members and enhance their economic and social status;

(ii)  to achieve the raising of productivity for the benefit of the members, their employer and the economy of Singapore, and

(iii)  to promote good industrial relations between the members and their employer.
