An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
The PME centre, which opened on Wednesday morning, is the second of its kind. The first one opened in January, at the Devan Nair Institute for Employment and Employability at Jurong East. It has seen about 20 cases so far, most of which were workplace grievances, said NTUC’s assistant-general Patrick Tay.”
- What is the outcome or progress of these 20 cases?
As to “Currently, unions are not allowed to represent both rank-and-file workers as well as PMEs due to a potential conflict of interest. Singapore has about 638,500 PMEs, which comprise 31.1 per cent of the resident workforce”
- SY Lee and I could not help but laugh about the above – isn’t the tripartite – the Government, only one large trade union movement headed by a cabinet Minister and the employers’ federation – fundamentally a conflict of interest?
How does the head of the union movement reconcile inherent conflicts of interest affecting workers’ rights? How can he represent the interests of workers, whilst being in the Government and the cabinet at the same time?
Are there any other countries in the world that allow such
