NUBE to banks: No more excuses
The outcome of a meeting between the Malaysian Commercial Banks Association (MCBA) and Human Resources Minister Fong Chan Onn today will reflect the association's interest in settling a dispute with the National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE).
NUBE president Abdul Jalil Abdul Hamid said the bank association should not come up with any more excuses after the meeting, if it is sincere about resolving outstanding issues with employees.
This is because NUBE has already agreed to the minister's request to find an amicable solution after being advised yesterday as to what the association wants the union to do.
"If MCBA still comes up with excuses after the meeting (thus prolonging the crisis), it will show nothing but disrespect to the minister himself," said Abdul Jalil when contacted by malaysiakini .
"It will also show the employers' true colours, which is to kill the union."
Abdul Jalil said NUBE has shown its respect for the minister by suspending all industrial action against the banks, in the form of strikes and work-to-rule decisions.
