Dear Editor,
We refer to the forum letter “低收入家庭能豁免会费吗?” (Shinmin Daily News, 27 December 2010) by 佳缘.
We would like to assure the writer and our members that NTUC and its affiliated unions and social enterprises are committed to bringing the best value to all our members.
While members pay a membership fee of $9 per month or $117 per annum, the value that they receive surpasses the annual membership subscription rate.
Besides providing direct help to members with workplace issues, membership also helps our members to stretch their hard-earned dollar through discounts and rebates on everyday necessities, personal development and training opportunities as well as access to leisure facilities. In 2010, the NTUC U Care Fund disbursed over $8.3 million to low-income members and their families through various assistance programmes.
NTUC Membership offers a wide range of benefits for all segments of the Singapore workforce across work, live and play. We would like to invite all to sign up for union membership so that we can offer these exclusive benefits and privileges to more members. Please visit us at www.ntuc.org.sg or call us at at 6213 8008 for further details.
Vivek Kumar
Director, Membership
National Trades Union Congress
