V. Devan Nair its first secretary-general. The labour movement initially represented only a minority of unionised workers. Its membership, however, expanded quickly; by 1965, it was representing the majority of the organised workers in Singapore. In 1969, in view of the rapid industrialisation and economic development that were to take place in Singapore the following decade, the NTUC transformed its role from a bargaining institution into a social entity with an unequivocal stake in the country’s economy and which seeks to improve workers’ well-being through a range of means. As laid out in its constitution, the NTUC’s key objectives include improving working conditions and enhancing the economic and social status of workers, as well as the promotion of good industrial relations for the benefit of workers, employers and the economy. | [National Trades Union Congress] -- Background and establishment -- Modernisation of the labour movement -- Social enterprises, amenities and skills upgrading initiatives -- Restructuring of unions -- Symbiotic ties between NTUC and the PAP government -- Headquarters -- NTUC’s secretaries-general over the years -- Timeline -- Author -- References -- Further resources. | Singapore National Trades Union Congress | Politics and Government {18336134}|Economy {18486515}|Community and Social Services {18486492}|Organisations {18455234}|Trade and industry {18486530} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.
