Singapore Maritime Officers' Union

The NTUC “Back to School” Programme is back again this year. This programme aims to assist union members who are in financial hardship, in particular low-income workers, to help them to combat the rising cost of living and to defray partially the cost of school related expenses for their school-going children (K1 to Polytechnic Levels) through the issuance of NTUC Back To School vouchers.

NTUC will be giving out $6.4 million worth of U-Stretch vouchers to help members reduce hardship during the downturn. Click here for more information
