Fight for the jobs of tomorrow: NTUC chief
Challenge is to make sure workers keep pace with new demands and not fight for jobs of yesterday, says Chan Chun Sing
Singapore
THE National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is not only concerned with the number of jobs created, but also with the quality of jobs being created, NTUC secretary-general Chan Chun Sing said on Monday.
From NTUC's perspective, the aim is not only to have more jobs, but also to make sure that each job allows for a higher "value added per worker", which allows workers to earn a better salary in time to come, said Mr Chan after a visit to machinery manufacturing company Yamazaki Mazak.
