THE National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) will do more to help Singaporeans cope with the recession through the activities and services of its cooperatives, said its secretary-general Lim Swee Say on Wednesday.

Citing NTUC First Campus, the new name for NTUC Childcare, he said it will strive to keep its fees below the national median of $630 a month.
