About this episode

The episode discusses NTUC's call-out of employers misrepresenting retrenchments and a US probe finding Singapore guilty of forced labor practices.

NTUC exposes employers reframing retrenchments as "new opportunities," requiring workers to reapply for roles abroad despite layoffs. Elsewhere, a US Probe finds Singapore guilty of using forced labour, threatening 12.5% tariffs on one-third of SG's exports to the US. 🔔 Enjoyed this one?
