The Opening Speech welcoming the presence of all invitees was completed by the President of NUBE, Bro Michael Tan. Among his remarks was that the settlement of the Collective Agreement is actually the beginning of a new direction where NUBE prioritizes social protection for its members in the financial sector. Financial sector workers are a special group of workers because there is no other industry that emphasizes integrity and efficiency as core principles in the banking workforce. Despite the challenges, the current NUBE leadership will continue to protect the interests of its members.
