"The union strongly objects to the business owner’s complete lack of prior consultation and advance notice of their decision," said FDAWA, adding that despite being a unionised company, the business owner did not engage the union early to discuss alternatives or support measures for its workers.

so what can the union actually do except kpkb ?

Think by many impression that's one problem with the union. Not many respect. Want do just do. Who hiew the union. Can only object. No power to do anything much. Cause power is in the hands of incumbent. In other places, think if they want do anything to the employee have to go through the union first.

Other than strong worded comment what can NTUC actually do? This isnt the first time already…

everytime ntuc make a strong comment it actually a slap across their face, as businesses dont even acknowledge its existence and the union is simply a paper tiger

I don't think the current owner of Twelve Cupcakes will give a F about our union. What can NTUC do to them?

The new owner of Twelve Cupcakes was the India-based Dhunseri Group, which purchased the company in 2016 from its founders, Daniel Ong and Jaime Teo.

Twelve Cupcakes was founded in 2011 by former radio DJ Daniel Ong and his then-wife Jaime Teo. Following their divorce in 2016, Ong and Teo sold the company to India-based conglomerate Dhunseri Group.


Another local business run to the ground by foreign talents.

Overseas based companies are like this. Lose money, pack and go.

To them, it's nothing personal. No more money for the business, go into liquidation, let the liquidators sort it out.

Unfair? Well.... then these people have never actually been in the real world before, have they?
