ST: The Big Story, 18 Jan - It’s now easier to spot firms that support better pay for lower-wage workers

View descriptionShare

Consumers and businesses can now more easily spot companies that support better wages for lower-wage workers to buy goods and services from, by looking out for their Progressive Wage  Mark.

The two-tier accreditation scheme was officially launched on Wednesday at an event held at Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo’s local flagship store at Orchard Central.

Recommended by the Tripartite Workgroup on Lower-Wage Workers in August 2021, the mark is administered by the Singapore Business Federation on behalf of the three-way partnership between the Ministry of Manpower, National Trades Union Congress and Singapore National Employers Federation.

In The Straits Times’ The Big Story, Multimedia Correspondent Cheow Sue-Ann spoke with Terence Ho, Associate Professor in Practice at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore to find out more.
