Stop bullying and blackmailing - MTUC sec-gen to MEF

The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has expressed its shock at dire warnings by the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) that up to two million people could be unemployed, deeming it a blatant attempt to blackmail the government into dishing out more concessions and financial assistance to the business community.

MTUC secretary-general J Solomon in a statement today hit out at the warning by MEF executive director Shamsuddin Bardan on Tuesday that a wave of retrenchments may be on the way after Hari Raya.
