MP says Dyson giving union one day's notice of layoffs unacceptable
The Straits Times|October 03, 2024
Executives recently axed by consumer electronics giant Dyson may be able to seek help from the United Workers of Electronics and Electrical Industries (UWEEI) union to ensure their retrenchment benefits are fair.

However, the union must first confirm who the affected workers are and their job levels, which is information Dyson did not share with it, said UWEEI executive secretary Patrick Tay on Oct 2.

The union earlier said on Oct 1 that these workers appeared to fall outside the scope of representation allowed under the collective agreement with the company.

His remarks were made after Dyson laid off an undisclosed number of workers on Oct 1. Mr Tay, who is also a labour MP, reiterated on Oct 2 that the UWEEI is disappointed that it was informed of the retrenchment exercise only a day before, on Sept 30.
