Website Launching
NYP Prinipal & CEO
AUPE
General Secretary
NYP Staff Branch Chairman
Dear
members of the NYP Staff Branch,
On 13 Mar 97, the NYP and AUPE signed its first Collective Agreement. Since then, I am pleased to note that efforts have been made on a continuing
basis to further strengthen and improve the already cordial relationship
between the Union and the Management on areas of common interest, through
the Joint Industrial Relations Committee
meetings as well as through informal discussions.
The Management strongly supports the need for the
Union to reach out to its members. I am delighted that
our Union has responded enthusiastically to tap on our existing Information
Technology Infrastructure -
the NYP Intranet - to publicise and update union
members on the various activities and events organised from time to time
by the AUPE, the NYP Staff Branch and the NTUC, as well as to disseminate
news and update on developments. It is indeed timely, in this information
technology era, to harness the best use of our IT systems to provide an
effective and easy means for union members to access information practically
and effectively at their finger tips.
I would like to congratulate the Union and its members on the launch of
its Website on the NYP Intranet. We look forward to more cooperation between
the Union and Management to forge a common vision and bond as we face
new challenges in our commitment to Education for the Next Lap.
Sincerely,
Lin Cheng Ton
Principal & CEO

Let
me extend my heartiest congratulations to the committee and members of
the Nanyang Polytechnic Staff Branch on the launch of their website.
Communicating with members is of utmost importance to the union.
In this era of information technology it is only apt for branches to
keep abreast with time and take advantage of new ways of reaching out
to members. I am glad to note the management's pro-active
move in rendering their support to the branch in their activities and
also in according unrecorded leave to members to attend trade union courses
and seminars.
In ensuring a happy and productive working environment for union members
and
staff of Nanyang Polytechnic, good industrial relations should prevail
between the branch and management. This is reflected in the collective
agreement with the formation of the joint industrial relations committee
where work problems could be discussed and resolved. It is also an avenue
of information sharing for union and management.
Let us continue to work together and foster the spirit of solidarity
and co-operation among staff and management.

 Our
Nanyang Polytechnic Staff Branch Committee was inaugurated
in November 1993. The first Inaugural General Meeting of the
Nanyang Polytechnic's Staff Branch was held at the French Singapore Institute
Auditorium. The Nanyang Polytechnic's Staff Branch is 5 years old. We
have come a long way since inception of the Branch in 1993.
The Nanyang Polytechnic's Staff Branch strives to achieve its objective
to promote camaradie among its members through various social, recreational
and educational actvities. For the past years, the Branch has done very
well to cater to the varied needs of its members by organising many activities
and gathering feedback into the needs and welfare of its members.
The establishment of a Joint Industrial Relations (IR) Committee between
the Polytechnic and the Union will secure for the union members a greater
share in and responsibility for and determines the observance of the conditions
under which their duties are carried out.
We are the first Branch in AUPE history to launch our own Website and
I am confident that with the establishment of our homepage, We could reach
out to our members more effectively.
Lastly, I would also like to thank our Principal ,Mr Lin Cheng Ton for
his constant support ,and access on its Website on the NYP Intranet.
