The Freelancers and Self-Employed Unit, U FSE, is the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) initiative in 2015 to represent the growing pool of freelancers and self-employed persons (SEPs) in Singapore and works towards strengthening their Wage, Welfare and Work Prospects. NTUC U FSE works closely with stakeholders such as relevant government agencies, SEP community groups, platform intermediaries, corporate service buyers and business solutions providers to strengthen strengthen the income security, skills mastery, occupational safety and health, and collective interests of this group of working people.
To support freelancing as a viable career option, NTUC, through U FSE, will provide SEPs with relevant resources and networking opportunities to enhance their career pathways. Those who are part of the community will also enjoy access to NTUC benefits and privileges such as access to seminars, training grants and insurance.
