Put interest of workers first

I REFER to the report “MTUC urges Dewan Negara to reject ‘rushed’ labour law amendments” (The Star, Oct 13; online at https://bit.ly/2WbeXlx).

I am perplexed by the Malaysian Trades Union Congress’ (MTUC) vehement opposition to the amendments to the Industrial Relations Act 1967 (Act 177), which was passed by the Dewan Rakyat recently.
