Coffee for S$0.50, company training committees among labour movement’s efforts to help workers

SINGAPORE: For the month of May, union members of the National Trades Union Congress can look forward to having their daily fix of coffee or tea at S$0.50 a cup.

The acquisition of food court operator Kopitiam last year also extended NTUC’s ability to make cheaper cooked food more widely available, they said. “Securing better work prospects for workers is a key imperative given the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0. Workers must be trained in tandem, as Workers 4.0, to not only keep up with this transformation, but secure better work prospects,” said the labour movement in its May Day message.

NTUC is hoping to accelerate that and form training committees in 1,000 companies across all six industry transformation map groups over the next three years, benefitting about 330,000 workers.
