Topics (1,000-1,500 words)
The content of the essay must be relevant to employment relations in Singapore.

1. Businesses in Singapore are often portrayed as adopting a unitarist rather than a


pluralist attitude to employment relations. Is this justified or are times changing?
Illustrate your arguments with contemporary examples.

2. What are the main responsibilities of unions in Singapore and are they carrying out
these responsibilities? Illustrate your answer by including answers to the following:
a. Has the role of unions changed as the economy has developed?
b. Are unions experiencing the same loss of membership as in other developed
countries?

3. How should business, labour and the government deal with plant closings and layoff
of employees? Should government be involved at all? Support your arguments
with examples where possible.

4. It is said that employment relations is the study of formal and informal rule making at
the workplace. Describe how these rules are made, and the role of the important
stakeholders in the process with examples.
