Three labour unions representing Pos Malaysia uniformed workers have come under fire from netizens after they appeared to take sides with the company management in an issue about staff welfare.

This followed a joint statement by the unions - Union of Pos Malaysia Uniformed Staff (Upus), Upus Sarawak, and their Sabah chapter called Keppses - where they defended Pos Malaysia Berhad chief executive officer Charles Brewer, who had been criticised for his offensive response to an employee’s query about damaged uniforms.
