NTUC on big drive to draw more PMEs to unions
Singapore
THE National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is making a big push to speak up for more professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) in Singapore, a group that the labour movement says is under-represented as far as union membership is concerned.
A PME taskforce set up last October by the NTUC and the Singapore National Employers Federation has already reached out to some 8,000 PMEs, who have indicated that their main concerns are job security and a lack of employment opportunities.
