LETTER | It is time to rebuild the rock bottom relationship between MTUC and the ministry for the betterment of the workers.
| The Malaysian Trades Union Congress wishes to congratulate M Saravanan on his appointment as the new Human Resources minister and Haji Awang Hashim as the deputy minister under the stewardship of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
We are confident that Saravanan will acknowledge that it's the workers who helped build this nation and yet many of them remain poor with meagre incomes and little savings for their old age. We hope the minister will stop all forms of abuses and bullying by irresponsible employers and agencies on workers.
Several changes to the IRA advocated by the previous Minister that were rushed through Parliament last October will lead to union-busting and weaken Malaysian unions. In this context, we hope the new Human Resources minister will ensure the rights of workers and unions are always upheld. We need someone who can empathise with the plight of the downtrodden workers who are struggling to make ends meet and bridge the widening income equality.
