While companies in Singapore that have at least 10 employees must inform the Manpower Ministry before laying off workers, there are no legal implications if they do not notify unions.

However, tripartite guidelines on “responsible practices” for retrenchment include coming to an agreement with the union about compensation and how workers were selected for layoffs.

Even though companies are not obliged to engage with NTUC, the union has taken the initiative to engage firms on retrenchment matters, said Dr Chew Soon Beng, a professor of economics and industrial relations at Nanyang Technological University.

it is confirmed that there is no Singapore law that company must inform the union and MOM about retrenchment because there is no legal implication.

it is just a guideline or practice encouraged by NTUC and MOM.

Lazada has done nothing wrong !

what can ntuc do beside kpkb?

[Wy:Nox]

No companies in Singapore need to inform MOM/ Union anything since they are powerless. Without these Companies, Ministers and Union leaders and officers will not exist.

NTUC can think whatever she like.s
It is systemic. Dola bankcrupt. Long Beach port Empty. China wants to be paid.

Just to add on often said retrenchment will pay 2 weeks or 1 month for each year of service also not mandatory under MOM law. I know this many years ago when I kena. MOM say guidelines but not make it a law. This is how pro-employer Spore is.

Really useless to have NTUC. Should close them down.
