SINGAPORE: The Singapore Manual & Mercantile Workers’ Union (SMMWU) said on Monday (Sep 14) that it is assisting employees affected by the abrupt closure of True Fitness and True Yoga, including organising a job-matching session on Thursday.
While the union, an affiliate of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), noted that True Fitness and True Yoga are non-unionised companies, some affected workers are SMMWU members.
A job-matching session organised by NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i), the National Instructors and Coaches Association (NICA), and SMMWU will be held on Thursday for former employees of the gym and yoga chains.
Former employees attending the session will receive job-matching assistance, as well as guidance and advice on workplace matters.
Separately, affected Singaporean and permanent resident workers can seek further support from e2i through job-matching services, career coaching and skills upgrading advisory.
“SMMWU calls on the two companies to collaborate with the union to support affected union members and provide access to assistance where needed,” said secretary-general Andy Lim, as the firms undergo liquidation.
