Kudos to UWEEI!
"A 75% payout from the management is a good offer compared to the
initial 10% first offered to us" said the members of a
non-unionised company who have just received their retrenchment
payout.
UWEEI first came to know about the retrenchment when our DSHQ member approached us to help her and 10
other colleagues to speak with the management on their package. The
union upon hearing the members' plight immediately took up their
case. UWEEI met the 11 members over several occasions, always at
night after they knocked off from work, to gather documentary proof
and evidence. The case was also referred to Ministry of Manpower
and after several rounds of conciliation at MOM, the company
finally agreed to pay a higher quantum to the
members! what a joy to both the union and
workers!
Of course, the union didnt just stop there. On the workers' last
day, UWEEI also arranged for e2i to come down to company to brief
them on their career options and sign them up for employability
camps, to ensure they secure good jobs after today.
And with that, we wish them all the best in their future
endeavours!
