NTUC, 3 affiliated unions slam 'unfair' layoffs at P&W-SIA Engineering joint venture

Singapore

THREE unions and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) have publicly censured and stepped in to halt "unfair" layoffs that reportedly affected more than 100 workers at aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company Eagle Services Asia.

On July 22, the management of Eagle, which is a 51:49 joint venture between American aerospace manufacturer Pratt & Whitney (P&W) and mainboard-listed SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC), had released specific employees before finalising the name list with the unions.
