NTUC-affiliated unions reach out to PHV driver Gavin Neo's family to offer support & assistance The statement came in response to the recent passing of a PHV driver.   Three NTUC-affiliated associations are urging platform operators to provide their workers with better earnings, welfare, and work conditions. In a Jun. 3 statement, the National Delivery Champions Association (NDCA), National Private Hire Vehicles Association (NPHVA), and National Taxi Association (NTA) detailed several suggestions for improving the lives and livelihoods of platform workers.   Platform workers are people who provide ride-hailing or delivery services for an online platform. In 2024, there were a total of 67,600 regular platform workers in Singapore. NDCA, NPHVA, and NTA are officially registered Platform Work Associations (PWAs) with the power to legally represent and protect platform workers' interests through negotiations with platform operators.   Advocating for improvements   The three associations proposed greater transparency in displaying fee structures so that workers have a better understanding of their earnings and can make more informed decisions about their working hours. Pricing should also not fall below a "fair minimum". They also said platform operators should avoid schemes that incentivise the workers to work long hours for rewards. Workers should be allowed "reasonable rest duration" to prevent them from getting fatigued.   In terms of protection, the statement noted that platform workers are covered under Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA) for work-related incidents, and under NTUC GIFT if they are NTUC members. NTUC GIFT is a group insurance policy for members of NTUC affiliated unions and associations under 65 years old. They are covered against death, total/partial and permanent disability for up to S$40,000.   On top of these policies, NDCA, NPHVA, and NTA asked for platform operators to also do their part to provide their workers with better insurance coverage.   A PHV driver's passing   The statement was made in response to the recent passing of private-hire vehicle (PHV) driver Gavin Neo. Neo had been working up to 15 hours a day to support his two teenage children before he passed on May 29 after a sudden cerebral stroke.   Fellow drivers started a crowdfunding campaign to support Neo's family financially. NDCA, NPHVA, and NTA said that they have reached out to Neo's family to offer support and assistance. They are also working directly with the platform operator Neo had worked under to help the family. NTUC assistant secretary-general and MP Yeo Wan Ling also put up a Facebook post on the issue on what these unions are doing to help platform workers.   https://www.facebook.com/hellowanling/posts/1110807284188989?ref=embed_post

Scoot staff to get 4.91 months' bonus after SIA Group posts record S$2.8 billion net profit     Singapore Airlines' budget arm Scoot will be giving out 4.91 months of bonus to eligible staff for 2024/25 financial year, which ended on Mar. 31, 2025. The amount was revealed by Scoot in a Jun. 3 TikTok.   According to the video, the airline's leaders, including chief executive officer (CEO) Leslie Thng, announced the bonus amount by holding up placards bearing numbers in front of Scoot employees. At the end of the video, Scoot also thanked its staff for their hard work and dedication. For FY2022/2023, eligible Scoot staff received a bonus of around six months.   SIA Group registered record net profit for FY2024/25   Scoot's latest announcement came after its parent company, Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group, posted a record-breaking net profit of S$2.778 billion for FY2024/25. This translates to a 3.9 per cent increase from SIA's net profit for FY2023/24, which was S$2.675 billion. According to the airline, one of the factors behind its strong financial performance was its increased group revenue.   Driven by "resilient demand for air travel and cargo uplift" in the financial year, SIA's revenue grew by 2.8 per cent to S$19.54 billion. Specifically, SIA and Scoot carried a record 39.4 million passengers, marking an 8.1 per cent increase from the 2023/24 financial year. In recognition of its staff's dedication and hard work, SIA would be giving out a profit-sharing bonus of 7.45 months to its employees.
