: The Human Resources Ministry aims to increase the number of unionised workers nationwide to two million, its minister Steven Sim Chee Keong said.
He said the target is in line with the Trade Unions Act 2024, which came into effect on Sept 15 and aims to empower trade unions in Malaysia.“This is because I see unions as a forum for workers’ rights. Having a union means we are strong,” he said in his speech at the opening of the 2024 National Trade Union Assembly here today.“We want to give workers the right to be more actively involved in unions, to provide more power to the workforce in Malaysia,” he said.
“We are working hard to bring forward the new Workers’ Bill that will safeguard the rights of our gig workers, who have long been left out of the Employment Act.
