Private sector workers stage gathering in front of PMO

by rahmah ghazali

PUTRAJAYA: Hundreds of private sector workers staged a gathering in front of the Prime Minister's Office here Tuesday to pressure the Government into addressing their ongoing problems.

Claiming that their concerns have yet to be addressed despite numerous demands, the Coalition of Workers and Unions said the Government should not ignore their plight.

Its representative Mohd Roszeli Majid said workers in the private sector want their rights returned to them and hope this would be addressed in the upcoming national Budget.

"We're not asking for much. We are not asking for a lot of money. We are asking for them to return our rights.

"We were grateful when the Government announced the minimum wage, but why was it not the same for the workers in Sabah and Sarawak?" he said in his speech.

The rights, said the group, were included in a 10-point memorandum that was later submitted to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak through one of his aides.

Among the grouses are labour laws and practises being introduced without consulting workers’ unions; delays in recognition of unions; retrenchments and termination by government-linked companies; loss of income; outsourcing and displacement of jobs; victimisation of female workers; and foreign labour problems.

Speaking at a press conference later, National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) president Ismail Nasaruddin said the coalition hoped the Prime Minister will relook and review the memorandums the union had submitted through the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC).

"Many workers in various industries have lost their jobs and they are not able to find jobs easily. There are problems in terms of retrenchment, especially in Malaysia Airlines (MAS)," he said.

Meanwhile, Selangor MTUC division chairman Wan Noorulazhar Mohd Hanafiah said there are also problems with companies that are against the setting up of unions.

"They even disallow staff members from joining a union," he said.- Star, 18/10/2016

PUTRAJAYA: Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Malaysia (MTUC) berharap Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, akan mengambil kira beberapa insentif berkaitan hak dan kebajikan pekerja dalam pembentangan Bajet 2017 Jumaat ini. 

Pengerusi MTUC, Selangor dan Wilayah Persekutuan, Wan Noorulazhar Mohd Hanafiah, berkata MTUC hanya mahu kerajaan bersikap prihatin terhadap kebajikan pekerja dan menghormati hak mereka sebagai rakyat Malaysia. 

Sehubungan itu, pihaknya menganjurkan 'Workers Walk' hari ini di mana kira-kira 200 ahli MTUC berjalan dari Masjid Putra hingga pekarangan Pejabat Perdana Menteri di Bangunan Perdana Putra di Presint 1, bagi menyerahkan memorandum mengandungi 10 tuntutan kesatuan itu. 

Wan Noorulazhar berkata, pihaknya berharap Perdana Menteri akan mengambil maklum kandungan memorandum berkenaan isu pekerja itu dan akan ada berita baik dalam pengumuman Bajet 2017 nanti.

"Ada beberapa perkara yang kita usulkan dalam memorandum berkenaan, antaranya hak untuk berkesatuan, memansuhkan sekatan yang menzalimi pekerja selain memastikan keadilan kepada pekerja. 

"Pada masa sama, kita turut membangkitkan isu amalan buruh yang tidak adil, pelaksanaan tabung pemberhentian kerja dan amalan penyumberluaran (outsourcing) selain mencegah penidasan, diskriminasi serta eksploitasi pekerja," katanya. 

Beliau berkata demikian selepas menyerahkan memorandum berkenaan kepada pegawai khas Perdana Menteri, Nik Mohamed Hussein Nik Ali, di sini hari ini. 

Wan Noorulazhar berkata, MTUC sebagai kesatuan, sentiasa membangkitkan isu pekerja, namun tidak mendapat pembelaan atau maklumat mengenai isu yang sudah diselesaikan oleh kerajaan.

"Itulah hasrat utama kami, untuk membela pekerja. 

Atas sebab itu juga kami hadir di sini untuk menyerahkan memorandum supaya pekerja tidak lagi ditindas oleh sesiapa dan mendapat maklum balas secara terus mengenai apa yang kerajaan lakukan untuk warga pekerja," katanya.- Berita Harian, 18/10/2016
