MTUC backs Gig Workers Act 2025 as key protection for gig economy


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has expressed support for the Gig Workers Act 2025, saying the law offers much-needed basic protections for gig workers.

MTUC president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor said the Act’s main purpose is to safeguard gig workers’ welfare and that having some legal protection is better than none. He rejected objections from some groups, saying their concerns were not based on the law's actual contents.
