Has this been copied straight from the NTUC pages or what? Historical background on how NTUC was emasculated by LKY & co and is now used to enforce that Singapore's unions are powerless is sorely needed... Jpatokal 07:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
- I think a lot of it has been dragged straight from the pages, sadly. It would be nice to discuss the political appointments that have toned down the militancy somewhat of the NTUC.. Cheers, Hauser 15:02, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
This really reads like an ad. We need concrete, unbiased, neutral information (which is actually coherent and easily digestable) here, as per Wikipedia guidelines. In fact, other than being a pain to read, I'd say this article provides no useful information whatsoever on NTUC, except on how it (ideally, and idealistically) operates. We need facts, facts, facts. Even a small list of its leadership is better than this whole block of copy-pasted nonsense.

[edit] rework
I cut quite a bit out of this page. Things like the role of the Branch Committee are pretty standard, and could be better fitted into a general article about the structure of trade unions. Other stuff, like "Indeed, tripartism between workers, the government and employers is the driving force behind Singapore's economic and social development." just had to go. I also added some history about the close relationship between the PAP and the NTUC.--Bookandcoffee 22:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
