NTUC closely monitors impact of US tariffs, ensures workers’ security

It will work with tripartite partners to safeguard workers and keep Singapore investment-friendly.

The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is keeping a close watch on the potential impact of the newly imposed US tariffs and countermeasures by other nations, warning that these developments could likely disrupt global supply chains and investment patterns.

Additionally, NTUC said that it stands ready to take action through its network of 58 affiliated unions and 27 Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) centres.

As part of the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce, NTUC will work with tripartite partners to safeguard workers and ensure Singapore remains attractive to foreign investments.

“Amidst the uncertainties brought about by global trade and tariff wars, NTUC will strengthen efforts and work with tripartite partners to enhance job security for workers,” said Ng Chee Meng, secretary-general of NTUC.

Ahead of the annual May Day celebrations, he also announced that NTUC has reached a significant milestone, with its union membership surpassing 1.4 million.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
