MALAYSIA:::MTUC: Be transparent about foreign workers contract

 The decision to place the draft of a foreign workers management contract under the Official Secrets Act has expanded the scope of the law beyond its core, a unionist charged today.
K Veeriah, Penang branch secretary of the Malaysian Trade Union Congress, said such expansion of repressive laws such as the OSA would only lead to a greater erosion of the people’s right to know and their confidence in the Federal Government.

"Apa yang menarik di dalam kes ini ialah adakah pembuangan kerja Pihak Menuntut itu adakah atas alasan Pihak Menuntut tidak menghadiri kursus yang dianjurkan oleh syarikat pada 10.03.2014 dan 11.03.2014 atau kegagalan Pihak Menuntut menghadiri siasatan dalaman ke atasnya pada 17.03.2014 dan 19.03.2014? 

Jika diteliti kepada surat notis siasatan dalaman bertarikh 13.03.2014, ia adalah berkaitan ketidakhadiran kursus di ibu pejabat pada 10.03.2014. 

Sementara dalam notis penamatan perkhidmatan, pembuangan kerja disebabkan syarikat menganggap Pihak Menuntut tidak berminat untuk bekerja di syarikat kerana gagal hadir siasatan dalaman."

90% of domestic workers have no labour protection: UN study

Around 90 percent of the world's 67 million domestic workers have no access to social security protection, with migrants left particularly vulnerable, the International Labour Organization said Monday.
Domestic work is largely "undervalued and unprotected," the UN labour agency said in a new report.
"When domestic workers become old or injured, they are fired, without a pension or adequate income support," said Isabel Ortiz, head of the ILO social protection department.

AWARD
Background
[1] This is a reference by the Honourable Minister of Human Resources under Section 20(3) of the Industrial Relations Act 1967 (Act 177) ('IRA') on 28.4.2011 to the Industrial Court arising out of the dismissal Zulkifli Bin Shahari ('the Claimant') on 11.6.2010 by Telekom Malaysia Berhad ('the Respondent'). This case was initially heard by Industrial Court Chairman Dato' Jalaldin bin Haji Hussain prior to his retirement. After his retirement on 12.8.2014, with the consent of the parties, the continued hearing of this case proceeded before the current Chairman.
[2] At the time of his termination, the Claimant was the Assistant General Manager, Sports Event Management, Section Sports Event Management, Strategic Event Management, Integrated Marketing, TM as stated in his letter of appointment dated 10.3.2008 adduced as p 10 COB-1 and he is to report to Puan Boey Wai Fun, (COW-4) General Manager, Strategic Event Management, Section Strategic Event Management, Integrated Marketing, TM from 10.3.2008. The Claimant's contention is that he has been dismissed without just cause or excuse on 11.6.2010 after serving the Respondent for a period of about 14 years. The Claimant commenced employment with the Respondent as Head of Smart Card Unit Business Multimedia in August 1996. On the other hand, the Respondent has argued that as the Claimant was found guilty of serious charges of misconduct after the Domestic Inquiry ("DI") was carried out, the Claimant was therefore properly dismissed and hence the Claimant's dismissal is fair and justified by the facts of the case.

About International Women's Day 8 APRIL

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
International Women's Day (IWD) has been observed since in the early 1900's - a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. International Women's Day is a collective day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women's network or media hub is solely responsible for International Women's Day. Many organizations declare an annual IWD theme that supports their specific agenda or cause, and some of these are adopted more widely with relevance than others.
"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights," says world-renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist Gloria Steinem. International Women's Day is all about celebration, reflection, advocacy, and action - whatever that looks like globally at a local level. But one thing is for sure, International Women's Day has been occurring for over a century - and is growing annually from strength to strength.
