MTUC: Why does WFH only apply to managerial level? Directive is discriminatory and vague


PETALING JAYA: The work-from-home (WFH) rule which applies to those in management and supervisory roles is a “form of discrimination” against non-managerial staff, says the Malaysian Trade Union Congress.

Its Selangor and Federal Territories division secretary Mohd Faisal Husin said the directive for only 10% of those in managerial roles to work on-site was discriminatory.
