SINGAPORE - Wing Tai Retail, which manages retail brands such as Dorothy Perkins and Uniqlo, is retrenching about 20 workers as part of business restructuring efforts.
"As a result of the review, the company has identified some job positions that will cease to exist," it said. Ms Sylvia Choo, executive secretary of Siseu, said this move is not due to the Covid-19 situation, but has been in the works since last year, as part of Wing Tai's business restructuring. "About 20 roles were affected, this is less than 1 per cent of our retail headcount. Added effort was made to assist affected employees to facilitate smooth transitions into their next jobs," it added.
