National banking union, NUBE,
MALAYSIA staged a protest
against Maybank for sacking
two of its office bearers
ISSUE NO. 4
Last month, Maybank sacked Abdul Jamil
Jalaludeen and Chen Ka Fatt, Nube’s vice
president and general treasurer respectively,
for carrying the banner “Maybank robs poor
Malaysian workers” in Geneva last year.
Angered by the incident, the banking union
lodged a police report against Maybank’s
CEO, Head of Human Resources Division
and its Head of Industrial Relations last
week.
Subramaniam did nothing
About 200 members of National Union of
Banking Employees (Nube) staged a picket at
Dataran Maybank today, decrying the banking
giant’s decision to terminate the services of
two of its employees last month.
The group arrived in several batches at the
scene at about 3.30pm, braving heavy rain
and police presence.
Also present in a show of solidarity were
Railway Union of Malaysia (RUM) President
Abdul Razak Md Hassan, the Asian
Regional
Organisation
of
Banking,
Insurance and Financial Unions President
C.H Venkatachalam and Parti Sosialis
Malaysia secretary-general S Arutchelvan.
Several of its officers led by Nube secretarygeneral J Solomon had earlier, at 1pm, lodged
a report with the MACC against Maybank for
sponsoring an in-house union which it claimed
was unlawful under the Industrial Relations Act
1967. Also named in the report were Human
Resources Minister Dr S Subramaniam, the
Human Resources Department, Industrial
Relations Department of Trade Union Affairs
and Suhakam.
At a press conference earlier after holding a
forum, Solomon said that his delegates had
unanimously agreed to hold a strike against
all banks in Malaysia soon
“The reason is because we found out that all
members of the Malaysian Commercial Bank
Association
(MCBA)
had
supported
Maybank’s action,” claimed Solomon.
The strike date would be determined
tomorrow after a meeting with its national
executive council.
Training his guns at Subramaniam, Solomon
criticised the latter for failing to act against
Maybank’s transgressions.
Since last year, Solomon said, Nube had
raised its concerns over Maybank’s failure to
provide better remuneration for its staff to
Subramaniam but claimed the complaints
had fallen on deaf ears.
He added that Maybank had also promoted
and sponsored an in-house union last year
called Mayneu, in an attempt to divide the
workers support.
“In the meetings, all Subramaniam says is
that he will think about it. In fact, my office
bearers were sacked by Maybank on Jan 31,
just a day after we met him but he is still
thinking about it,” said Solomon.

SHAH ALAM – Pertikaian perhubungan perusahaan membabitkan

Nube membuat laporan di Pejabat SPRM, Jalan Cochrane, Kuala
Lumpur menggesa agar menyiasat pelanggaran oleh bank terbesar di
Malaysia itu, dan juga ketiadaan penguatkuasaan di pihak
Kementerian Sumber Manusia, Jabatan Perhubungan Perusahaan,
Jabatan Kesatuan Sekerja dan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah
Malaysia (SPRM) berhubung aduan-aduan dikemukakan pihaknya
selama ini.
Presiden Nube, Michael Tan Eng Hong berkata, pegawai-pegawai
kesatuan itu membuat laporan SPRM tengah hari tadi berkenaan
tindak tanduk pihak-pihak terbabit dan menggesa suruhanjaya
tersebut menyiasat perkara tersebut.
“Laporan itu juga bertujuan membawa perkara berkenaan ke
perhatian Perdana Menteri (Datuk Seri Najib Razak) dan publik
bahawa Maybank telah melanggar Perlembagaan Persekutuan,
Deklarasi Universal Mengenai Hak Asasi Manusia, Konvensyen
Pertubuhan Buruh Antarabangsa 1998, Akta Perhubungan
Perusahaan dan Akta Kesatuan Sekerja,” kata beliau.
"Tindakan Maybank memecat dua pegawai kanannya yang juga ahli
Nube mampu menjejaskan masa depan kesatuan sekerja di negara ini.
Ia juga akan memberi kesan negatif kepada tenaga kerja di Malaysia
jika tidak dikawal," katanya dalam satu kenyataan media.
Pada 31 Januari lalu, Maybank telah memecat Naib Presiden Nube,
Abdul Jamil Jalaludeen dan Bendahari Kehormatnya, Chen Ka Faat
berhubung tindakan mereka membawa kain rentang mengecam bank
itu di Geneva, Switzerland.
Abdul Jamil dan Ka Faat dipecat atas alasan telah memegang
sepanduk yang bertulis "Maybank Robs Poor Worker" di luar
bangunan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) dan Pertubuhan
Buruh Antarabangsa (ILO) pada satu konvensyen di Geneva Jun lalu.
Selain itu, Eng Hong berkata, walaupun perkara itu telah dirujuk
kepada pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan, sikap acuh tak acuh telah
ditunjukan oleh pelbagai pihak daripada badan kerajaan.
Pagi tadi, kata beliau, sekitar 500 ahli kesatuan berkumpul di ibu
pejabat Nube di Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur untuk memperlihatkan
sokongan dan mereka telah diberikan taklimat mengenai
perkembangan semasa.
