Singapore is known for its harmonious labour relations. Its strong tripartite relationship ensures that unions work closely with employers and the government to protect the best interests of both businesses and workers. This has ensured industrial peace and growth, creating a favourable working environment for employers and employees. In fact, Singapore has been strike-free since 1978. |
