All Because Of U! Story and pictures by Vanessa Teo The Labour Movement’s breakthrough in membership growth can be attributed to its All CAN - All Collars, All Ages, All Nationalities strategy that has used its communities such as nEbO, Young NTUC, U Family, U Live and U Sports to engage members. Moving forward, the Labour Movement will take a ‘3-GEN’ strategy as well as step up efforts on its Concentrate and Dominate strategy to sustain its membership growth momentum. As such, the U Summit Membership Awards Ceremony on 13 October 2010 recognised unions and the Labour Movement’s partners for their efforts in helping to grow membership numbers. In addition, unions and partners who have demonstrated the All CAN, ‘3-GEN’, and the Concentrate and Dominate strategies were also acknowledged by Guest- of-Honour NTUC Secretary-General Lim Swee Say. 36 participants were honoured in five categories of awards at this special event.

Hence, it was an apt avenue for NTUC Deputy Secretary-General Halimah Yacob to share on the continuous need to keep up with the spirit of tripartism, topped up with her recent global observations. DSG Halimah, who is also HDBSU’s Advisor, recollected her experiences from a recent joint conference organised by the International Labour Organization and International Monetary Fund in Oslo, Norway, to explore new ways of forging a sustainable, job-rich recovery from the global economic crisis. Building On The Fort She highlighted that this was a significant move as this was the first time in history that The high degree of a sign of further commitment to strengthen these two organisations have come together to consensus between tripartite Labour Management Relations.
