The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) has responded to retrenchment exercises carried out by Yahoo and Ninja Van, saying it was "dismayed" at the timing of these exercises.
NTUC said the two companies had initiated retrenchment exercises on Apr. 29 and 30, "just before May Day", and pointed out that the holiday is "meant to celebrate the contributions of workers towards Singapore’s economy".
NTUC also highlighted that both companies are not unionised.
"We understand that companies do need to undergo restructuring exercises from time to time," said NTUC, which called for companies to be "considerate" about the timing of such exercises, and to "avoid doing exercises during such periods".
