Dyson conducted a retrenchment exercise on Tuesday (Oct 1), giving the labour union in Singapore only a day's notice of the layoff. The United Workers of Electronics and Electrical Industries (UWEEI) expressed disappointment with the appliance maker's conduct, saying in a statement on Tuesday that it has «escalated» the matter to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). UWEEI said it was dissatisfied that there was insufficient time for meaningful discussion between the union and Dyson over the retrenchment. The statement did not mention the number of workers affected. A Dyson spokesperson also did not disclose to The Business Times the number of workers that were let go, or the types of roles they had held. The spokesperson said: «We constantly evolve the composition of our teams and take steps to ensure we have the right skills in the right places. Our ambitions in Singapore remain unchanged, and we anticipate that we will continue to grow here in the medium term.» Read more
