MTUC urges govt to ratify treaty

Saying he was not going to explain what the misconceptions were, its president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor said the MTUC would now push for the government to ratify the treaty known as the Convention Concerning Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work.
