The Tripartite Cluster for Landscape Industry (TCL) was formed in April 2014 to develop a Progressive Wage Model (PWM) for the landscape industry that would provide a pathway for landscape workers to progress with training and improvements in productivity and standards.
Introducing the PWM in the landscape industry is a step forward in uplifting the image of the landscape industry and professionalising the industry. The PWM gives landscape workers a clearer pathway to career progress and will allow them to earn higher wages that will commensurate with improved training, better skill sets, higher standards and higher productivity.
The PWM also encourages landscape companies to compete based on productivity instead of price alone. As for service buyers, they can be assured of higher quality services. With all these steps in place, the landscape industry will be better placed to attract and retain quality manpower to meet its growing needs.
NTUC is at the heart of the Labour Movement, which comprises 58 affiliated unions, seven affiliated associations, a portfolio of businesses and six related organisations, as well as a growing ecosystem of professional associations and enterprise partners.
