NTUC is a joke and scam. When I was stewardess, there was no union for us to join except I think NTUC General Branch. Nobody bothered and I couldn't be bothered too. But the Sg-based pilots had ALPA-S union and they insisted not affiliating to NTUC. There was even one incidence when LKY came down to bang table and order deporting a Malaysian pilot at SQ over union arguments. But that's real union. Fight all to the way to LKY. NTUC always say tripartite. Where got? The head is always government minister siding the big corporations against small fry employees like us. NTUC never fight for employees. When business bad, they always suggest cut pay and cut CPF for junior employees. But the CEO, senior management and minister pays keep going up, they say they're talents, otherwise we got no jobs.
