NTUC closely monitors impact of US tariffs, ensures workers’ security

It will work with tripartite partners to safeguard workers and keep Singapore investment-friendly.

The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is keeping a close watch on the potential impact of the newly imposed US tariffs and countermeasures by other nations, warning that these developments could likely disrupt global supply chains and investment patterns.

Additionally, NTUC said that it stands ready to take action through its network of 58 affiliated unions and 27 Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) centres.

As part of the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce, NTUC will work with tripartite partners to safeguard workers and ensure Singapore remains attractive to foreign investments.

“Amidst the uncertainties brought about by global trade and tariff wars, NTUC will strengthen efforts and work with tripartite partners to enhance job security for workers,” said Ng Chee Meng, secretary-general of NTUC.

Ahead of the annual May Day celebrations, he also announced that NTUC has reached a significant milestone, with its union membership surpassing 1.4 million.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
