Bagus sekali bahawa MTUC telah menimbulkan isu ini dalam media massa, dan pihak media sememangnya akan memberikan liputan berkenaan isu sebegini - tetapi apabila isu berkenaan hak pekerja saperti hak terima gaji minima sekarang, hak mendapatkan pekerjaan tetap sehingga bersara, hak memberikan pengiktirafan kepada union secara cepat, dsb. - ruang media kurang atau jarang diberikan tetapi apa yang penting adalah MTUC, Kesatuan Sekerja, Senator, MP dan pejuang hak pekerja mesti sentiasa keluar kenyataan media berkenaan perkara yang menyentuh hak pekerja ... Harapan adalah bahawa kenyataan-kenyataan diterbitkan dengan sepenuhnya di laman web, serta petikan mana-mana lapiran media...
Jika kita melihat kenyataan, kita akan tahu bahawa MTUC dan/atau Kesatuan lain telah segera bertindak...ini penting untuk warga pekerja dan masyarakat umum...
Adakah MTUC mengeluarkan apa-apa kenyataan bila 400 syarikat besar dibenarkan menangguhkan pembayaran gaji minima sehingga akhir tahun? Mana
dia suara pekerja membantah penafian hak menerima gaji Minima? Apa
majikan minta kerajaan bagi - 400 minta tangguh 400 dapat - pelik
MTUC wants bosses to give free masks to workers
 |
The
Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) today urged all employers to
provide free face masks to their workers in view of the worsening haze
in the country.
Priority should be given to those working in the field, like the construction, plantation and port workers, said its vice-president, A Balasubramaniam.
He told Bernama that at present some of the workers were buying their own masks and this was imposing a financial burden on them.
Balasubramaniam, who is also the MTUC’s Health and Safety Committee chairperson, said the employers should also give due consideration to their employees who were asthmatic or suffering from other respiratory ailments.
He said these categories of workers should be given proper medical assistance or days off depending on the haze situation and their health needs.
He said it was hoped that the government would provide special incentives to encourage employers to ensure the health of their workers during this critical period.
