SINGAPORE: The labour movement inked an agreement with Marina Bay Sands (MBS) on Tuesday that will see the integrated resort footing the bill for free membership to the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) for some 7,500 of its staff.


This means MBS employees will have a platform for representation on labour issues should they take up membership.


About 83 per cent of MBS’ total workforce of over 9,000 is eligible.


Under the agreement, a committee will also be set up by employees to look into issues of skills training and upgrading to help boost productivity.
