SINGAPORE – The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the union representing Lazada workers have expressed “deep disappointment” over the e-commerce firm’s recent retrenchment exercise.
NTUC noted in a statement on Jan 5 that Lazada initiated the layoffs without prior consultation with the Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union (FDAWU) despite the fact that the Singapore-headquartered firm is unionised under FDAWU.
It added that FDAWU has contacted Lazada to express its disappointment, and the matter has been escalated to the Ministry of Manpower.
