Wang pekerja(KWSP) digunakan untuk melabur dalam DRB-HICOM apabila syarikat itu bertindak tidak adil terhadap pekerja - di tambah lagi pelaburan pada awal Ogos 2013

Walaupun DRB-HICOM berlaku tidak adil kepada kaum pekerja, wang simpanan hari tua pekerja (EPF/KWSP) digunakan baru-baru ini untuk membeli lagi banyak saham dalam DRB-Hicom.

EPF ups stakes in DRB-HICOM, Utd Plantations

KUALA LUMPUR: The Employees Provident Fund acquired an extra two million shares in DRB-HICOM Bhd, raising shareholding to 173.22 million shares.
EPF also bought 50,000 shares in United Plantations Bhd, increasing its shareholding to 26.48 million shares.- Business Times, 3/8/2013, EPF ups stakes in DRB-HICOM, Utd Plantations

Jangan lupa bahawa kuasa sebuah syarikat akhirnya adalah pada pemegang saham, dan KWSP nampaknya sebuah pemegang saham DRB-HICOM yang besar...

Wang KWSP wang pekerja - dan walaupun 2 anak syarikat DRB-HICOM telah bertindak tidak adil terhadap G18, tindakan KWSP pada 3/8/2013 nampaknya merestui tindakan DRB-HICOM. Apa kata pekerja? Apa kata UNION?

 

Secara prinsip, wang pekerja tidak seharusnya digunakan untuk melabur dalam sebuah syarikat yang menindas atau bertindak tidak adil terhadap pekerja...
