Introduction
Transient Workers Count Too is a membership-based society. In March every year, we holdan annual general meeting (AGM) at which the elected TWC2 committee reports on the
previous year’s work and accounts are presented. This is also a t
ime to decide on the mainprojects and policy directions for the next year. We take this seriously.This year, we conducted workshop sessions on future work, in which members came up withideas and proposals about what should be done.The advocacy worksho
p thought that the ‘Day Off’ campaign should move on to a new stage
and needed an injection of energy and new ideas. It called for more information materials tobe produced in languages other than English and for a greater engagement with theappropriate Singapore authorities at various levels (a call made by the direct servicesworkshop too).The research workshop discussed initiatives proposed for the coming year and came up withthe first volunteer participants for a study on the processes workers go through from theirrecruitment until their return home, which is intended to encourage simplified, lower cost,transparent procedures. One participant volunteered to help collate existing research tomake it more accessible.The direct services workshop proposed an initiative on information services for migrantworkers, to provide improved advice on employment, safety and rights. It called for officialexit interviews to be conducted with all workers returning home to review their experiencesand identify areas of concern. It also called for more publications for migrant workers to beproduced.This report is a record of what we have done in the previous year and our plans for thecurrent and future years.
