MTUC blasts Kula for 'arrogant' approach in dealing with complaints over labour law amendments


Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has lambasted Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran for being “arrogant" in his approach to dealing with the body's complaints over the labour law amendments that were approved by Parliament recently.

The MTUC, which represented 15 million workers, said Kulasegaran did not allow the National Labour Advisory Council (NLAC), which comprises the MTUC and the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) to discuss and reach a joint solution to the amendments for the Industrial Relations Act 1967.
