The Taskforce for Responsible Retrenchment and Employment Facilitation also said that it is working with Jetstar Asia and SMMWU to support the affected employees.
The taskforce comprises representatives from the Ministry of Manpower, Workforce Singapore, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), and NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i).
SMMWU and e2i are working with Jetstar Asia to provide job matching support for affected employees, the taskforce said.
It also noted the airline has worked closely with its union and has committed to providing a retrenchment package aligned with the Tripartite Advisory on Managing Excess Manpower and Responsible Retrenchment.
“Our priority is to help the affected employees with employment facilitation,” the taskforce added.
