The union says employees need a human resources minister who can empathise with the plight of downtrodden workers. FMTNews MTUC Worker Covid19
MTUC has proposed a revolving fund to provide soft loans for workers to mitigate their financial burden from the economic impact of Covid-19.
MTUC president Halim Mansor and secretary-general J Solomon said the former minister, M Kula Segaran, had pushed through such laws, particularly when amending the Industrial Relations Act .They said such laws would lead to union-busting and weaken unions in the country. They also claimed that the RM20 billion stimulus package announced by the previous prime minister to cushion the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak had failed to address the core needs of workers.
“We hope Tan Sri Muhyiddin will consider establishing this fund as a top priority to help workers who are taking home smaller pay packets due to the economic downturn made worse by Covid-19.”
