Before a strike can be carried out at Eagle Services Asia (ESA), several requirements must be fulfilled by the involved unions. Here are a few of the key requirements:

Secondly, the unions must conduct a secret ballot vote among their members to determine whether they have a mandate to strike. The ballot must be conducted by the Singapore National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) or an approved independent party. The ballot must have a quorum of at least 50 percent of the union members who are eligible to vote.
Thirdly, the unions must have a trade dispute with the employer that has not been resolved through negotiation, conciliation or mediation. The dispute may relate to terms and conditions of employment, working hours, wages, or benefits.
