What is NTUC’s Compact with Workers?

Some call it a compact. Some an agreement.
We call it a promise to all workers.

NTUC has championed workers’ interests even before Singapore became a nation.
We have rallied the workforce in our nation’s struggle for survival and success.
We will keep faith with workers through tomorrow’s uncertainties.
We will be the worker’s trusted friend in the rough and tumble of the future.

To be the voice of workers, NTUC has and will continue to listen. To champion workers’ interests, we will:

Support Youths in their vision of success.

• To empower youths with a more comprehensive system of support. To encourage workplaces to adapt to diverse career aspirations and needs.

Support Mid-career Workers in their pursuit of deep skills.

• To assure workers of a just transition to more resilient career pathways amidst disruption, digitalisation, and decarbonisation.

Ensure Caregivers, especially women, can have peace of mind in balancing work and family.

• To support workers in achieving work-life harmony and help employers attract and retain talent through mutual trust, flexibility, and paid caregiving support.

Help Older Workers have fair employment and training opportunities in a multi-generational workforce.

• To assure workers who have been consistently employed of basic retirement adequacy.

Empower Vulnerable Workers and ensure no worker is left behind in the nation’s progress.

• To recognise, respect, and reward essential workers. To champion stronger representation and better protection for freelancers and self-employed persons
