'Union Busting'....Maybank??

Employees of Maybank were seen protesting in front of their branch along Jln Sultan Idris Shah (Brewster Road) on Friday 3 February.....

The reason for the protest...got this from Malaysiakini....."the bank had rejected 17 Nube applications for trade union leave for its executive and committee members ... and got the Malaysian Commercial Banks Association (MCBA) on board to direct all its members to deduct salaries of all Nube exco and branch committee members on trade union leave to prepare for strike action.

Nube's latest skirmish with Maybank is over two employees sacked for participating in a trade union activity in Switzerland recently The duo - Nube honorary treasurer Chen Ka Fatt and vice-president Abdul Jamil Jalaludeen - were dismissed on Jan 31, for holding a banner with words "Maybank robs poor Malaysian workers" outside the United Nations building in Geneva.

Somehow the government got dragged into the issue again....saw this memo at the site questioning "is BN protecting the laws of the country for workers or allowing the GLC (Maybank) to break those laws"....
..

..true or false...well you be the judge...click on the photos to enlarge.....

cheers!
