STRIKE atau Mogok adalah tindakan yang boleh digunakan Union dan pekerja di Malaysia untuk menuntut hak ... Berikut beberapa lapuran berita mengenai tindakan 'strike' - yang berlaku di United Kingdom, Australia, France dan Africa Selatan... di mana tuntutan untuk gaji yang lebih baik, menuntut mereka yang kerja kontrak dijadikan pekerja regular sehingga persaraan, menuntut hak untuk bersara secara optional pada umur 55 tahun dan terus menerima 60% gaji sehingga tarikh persaraan 60 tahun, ....
Pekerja membersih tandas di Melbourne, Australia akan buat strike - membantah pengunaan pekerja yang dibekalkan oleh subcontractor (tidak mahu lagi pekerja di ambil melalui sistem 'contractor for labour' atau pekerja 'outsourcing'). Mereka juga membantah pengunaan pelajar sebagai pekerja sementara....
Siapa yang MOGOK? Juruterbang, pekerja Pos, pembawa ambulan dan pekerja sektor kesihatan, pekerja pembersih tandas, cikgu, dll...
Kalau pergi dan buat carian di internet, nyata bahawa pekerja di banyak negara termasuk negara membangun dan maju terus kerap mengadakan STRIKE sebagai cara perjuangan hak.... Di Malaysia, pun boleh diadakan strike tetapi malangnya Union dan pekerja sudah hampir tidak mengunakan STRIKE - kenapa? Adakah ini kerana hak pekerja dan Union tidak dinafikan? Atau...
Secara sah, Union boleh mengambil tindakan strike - bukan MTUC. Mengadakan Mesyurat Agung Tergempar atau mesyurat ahli kesatuan membincangkan sama ada mahu MOGOK atau tidak juga tak kedengaran di Malaysia. Undi sulit mendapatkan sokongan majoriti ahli untuk MOGOK pun tak kedengaran...
MOGOK boleh diadakan berasaskan undang-undang di Malaysia ... jadi mengapa Union di Malaysia tak pun mengugut akan buat STRIKE...atau mengambil langkah perlu saperti terkandung dalam undang-undang ke arah kemungkinan mengadakan MOGOK...
RISIKO memang ada ... tapi kini jika pemimpin Union mengeluarkan kenyataan pun dibuang kerja. Ahli Union yang menambil bahagian dalam piket secara aman pun kena buang kerja... Ahli Union yang pergi menghantar memorandum MTUC untuk mendapatkan komitmen mereka yang bertanding pilihanraya bahawa mereka akan berjuang untuk hak pekerja juga kena buang kerja... Bila pemimpin dan ahli Union kena buang kerja secara salah ini pun, kita tak lihat protes besar ahli-ahli union tersebut juga... Apakah yang sudah berlaku kepada pekerja dan Union di Malaysia...
Taktik yang digunakan adalah membuat aduan - dan bila sampai kes tersebut di Mahkamah Perusahaan atau Mahkamah Buruh - tak nampak kehadiran ramai-ramai ahli memberi sokongan di Mahkamah pun...Mengapa?
Banyak runguttan kita lihat di kedai kopi, di FB, Whats App, dll - tetapi tak ada tindakan selepas itu. Bila G18 dibuang kerja dan mereka pergi ke Putrajaya untuk protes - yang hadhir hanya ahli kena buang dan keluarga mereka - mana di ahli-ahli Union lain - tak pun pergi menunjukkan solidariti ... wakil kepimpinan union berkenaan dan union lain yang hadhir beberapa orang sahaja...
Apa yang akan dilakukan pekerja dan Union di Malaysia akhirnya bergantung kepada keputusan mereka sendiri? Tetapi harus ditanya sama ada tindakan yang diambil mungkin kerana sebab-sebab yang lain - sebab-sebab peribadi,.... Ini kena tanya?
Lufthansa pilots' 15-hour strike affects 9,000 travellers
FRANKFURT
(Reuters) - Lufthansa (LHAG.DE)
pilots threatened further strike action on Tuesday as they began a 15
hour walkout at Frankfurt airport in a row with management over
retirement benefits that stretches back two years.
The pilots,
represented by union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC), are striking from 0600
(7 a.m. BST) to 2100 GMT (10 p.m. BST) on long-haul routes from
Frankfurt, Europe's third-largest airport and Lufthansa's main hub.
The
strike, affecting around 9,000 travellers, is the longest since a
three-day nationwide walkout in April, and the union threatened more.
The pilots are trying to increase pressure on
management to maintain a retirement scheme that gives pilots the option
to retire from the age of 55 and still receive up to 60 percent of their
pay until regular retirement. - Reuters, 13/9/2014, Lufthansa pilots' 15-hour strike affects 9,000 travellers

Ambulance staff in GMB vote for strike
Ambulance staff and other health workers in the GMB union have voted in favour of strike action in a dispute over pay.
In the ballot, 78% of members in England and Northern Ireland voted in favour of strike action.
They will join other staff, including nurses, midwives and porters, in a four-hour walkout on 13 October.
Ministers have given NHS staff a 1% increase, but not for those who get automatic progression-in-the-job rises.
These are designed to reward professional development and are given to about half of staff and are worth 3% a year on average.
But the decision by ministers went against the recommendation
of the independent pay review board, which had called for an
across-the-board rise.
'Anger and frustration'
Brian Strutton, the GMB national secretary for public
services, said: "Nobody in the NHS wants to go on strike, but the anger
and frustration of the workforce with the cavalier treatment by
government and employers towards them has spilled over into industrial
unrest.
"GMB and the other trade unions on the staff side hope this
programme of action will get some movement in this deadlock and we will
plan further periods of action through the autumn and winter if it does
not."
The GMB balloted 22,000 members in total, covering a range of jobs from ambulance crews to district nurses and cleaners.
The walkout will start at 07:00 and last for four hours. It will be followed by a period of working to rule.
The unions say urgent and emergency services will not be
affected. Instead, they will target non-urgent care such as hospital
outpatient appointments, routine surgery, patient transport and
community clinics.
A total of 10 health unions have balloted members. Results
from the biggest two - Unison and Unite - have already been announced.
Both voted in favour of a strike, while Royal College of
Midwives members are also taking action for the first time. All these
unions balloted members in England only.
It is the first walkout over pay for 32 years. - BBC News, 1/10/2014, Ambulance staff in GMB vote for strike
Frustration mounts as Post Office strike continues
Workers are demanding a 15 percent salary hike and those with temporary contracts want permanent positions.

Workers are demanding a 15 percent salary hike and those with temporary contracts want permanent positions. - EWN Eye Witness News, 1/10/2014, Frustration mounts as Post Office strike continues
Toilet cleaners' rolling strike may leave office workers short
Office workers may be forced to bring their own toilet paper to work,
as cleaners at some of Melbourne's most prominent city buildings have
vowed to stop cleaning toilets and replacing toilet paper until they get
a pay rise.
About 400 cleaners who work for cleaning giant Consolidated
Property Services - which provides cleaners for buildings including
Freshwater Place, 101 Collins Street, the CBA building and Casseldon
Place - began industrial action on Thursday after failing to reach an
agreement with the company over better pay conditions....
The cleaners are also asking that Consolidated
Property Services promise to avoid using subcontractors or exploiting
international students by signing the "Clean Start" agreement.
Ms Walsh said one major cleaning company, Glad, had committed
to a 3 per cent pay rise for the next four years and ending
subcontracting of international students as a source of cut-rate
cleaners.
