The letter from the union general secretary Law Kiat Min comes in the wake of what seems to be a growing split among certain top ranking MTUC officials.
He said they remained positive that the amendments were in line with the fundamental ILO Convention 87 on Freedom of Association that the MTUC had consistently fought for the last 70 years. He claimed that the minister had rushed the proposals to the AGC without waiting for MTUC to submit its proposed amendments to the National Labour Advisory Council .
Halim said the minister should have received the consensus from the NLAC on the amendments before tabling the proposals in Dewan Rakyat last Monday ."We believe substantive and meaningful consultation had taken place and though we understand key MTUC officials may not have been present, we note the constitution of the NLAC and the ILO Convention 144 does not dictate that there must be consensus before any labour law amendment," said Law.
