This includes offering affected employees “adequate support and appropriate retrenchment benefits in line with industry standards”, the statement notes.
Following Lazada's shock retrenchment exercise at its Singapore office this week, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) says it facilitated discussions between Lazada Singapore and the Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union (FDAWU) on Jan 5.
In a Jan 6 statement to The Edge Singapore, the ministry says it “saw good progress” in the talks, without disclosing details. MOM says it is working to ensure that the restructuring exercise is held in a “fair and responsible manner”.
