Labour movement has spent years advocating for stronger retrenchment protections: Patrick Tay

The labour movement has spent years advocating stronger retrenchment protections, said MP for Pioneer SMC Patrick Tay in response to Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh’s proposal to mandate retrenchment benefits. Drawing on his experience in supporting workers affected by manufacturing sector layoffs, Mr Tay — who is also Assistant Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) — said in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5) that NTUC will continue working with employers and the government to strengthen mechanisms so that "no worker is left behind" during retrenchments. #sgnews #singapore Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
