Tripartism is a key competitive advantage for Singapore, underpinning its economic edge, harmonious labour-management relations, and overall progress.
The tripartite partners – the government, represented by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM); the unions, represented by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC); and the employers, represented by the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) – work in cooperation to shape Singapore’s future, forging consensus in developing strategies and taking collective action to achieve sustainable national growth and development for the employers, workers and society.
