PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trade Union Congress (MTUC) has voiced strong opposition to the government's decision to extend nurses' working hours from 42 to 45 per week starting Dec 1, 2024, citing a lack of consultation with key stakeholders such as the Malaysian Nurses Union (MNU).
MTUC president Mohd Effendy Abdul Ghani said the Health Ministry's approach disregarded the collaborative efforts needed to draft fair and realistic policies.
