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.
