The labour movement will have to transform itself to tackle present and future concerns about jobs, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat. The Straits Times reports that Keat said the labour movement must work more directly with companies to transform their businesses so that their workers can succeed. And as the labour market changes, it should serve more workers by expanding its outreach and addressing workers' lifelong needs holistically. The labour movement will also need to garner broader support from Singaporeans, he added. Keat was addressing unionists, tripartite partners and other guests at NTUC's (National Trades Union Congress) Ordinary Delegates' Conference. The one-day conference aimed to review the labour movement's progress in supporting members and workers since its previous edition in 2019.
