The International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Committee on Freedom of Association has ruled that the dismissal of five unionists at Hicom Automotive Manufacturers (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd due to their participation in a union meeting had violated their freedom of association and amounted to “intimidation”.

The five members of the National Union of Transport Equipment and Allied Industries Workers (NUTEAIW) were among 110 others who attended a briefing after working hours (5:30pm) outside the company premises, said its general-secretary Gopal Kishnam (above) in a statement.
