Unions galore at Malaysia Airlines

MAS' Ahmad Jauhari (centre) with staff on Wednesday.

IT is interesting to note that the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) has appointed itself as the union representing the cabin crew of Malaysia Airlines (MAS), although the airline had yet to recognise it up till yesterday.

MAS still recognises MAS Employees Union (Maseu) as the union that represents its cabin crew for remuneration negotiations and other matters. Nufam appointed itself by virtue of having obtained 62% support from the cabin crew in a secret ballot that was held recently.
