Industrial Relation Act (amendment bill)

The government always support the business community in all aspects right through the laws enactments. You dont see action not link to the business community. Because the government holds the view that the business community employ workers and pay taxes(billions) than the ordinary wage earners daily struggling to survive. The money trails grease the hands; the eyes caress the glittering inviting light.....You hear the explanation of the importer of foreign cars about the tinted glass and Xenon light on cars. Much have been said then slowly died off in the maze of many excuses and half way siesta.................finally nothing happens until some lives are lost like the bus tragedies then only actions are then taken to pluck the wrongs. Now the minister has tabled the Industrial Amendment Bill in Parliament................it is to tied down payment of cost to 24 months maximum. Now you can imagine what the CEOs will do to you? They know they can pay 24 months on your last drawn salary. Currently it is upto the Industrial Court Chairman to decide on the quantum of damages arising on the wrongful dismissal of workers in his employ. The government is not siding the workers but is helping the companies to commit more 'no care attitude' to the workers. MTUC cried foul on the amendment calling it stabbing its back..........The MPs as usual just toe the line without knowing the responsibility entrusted to them by the voters where the majority are workers voting them into the August House. The voters too have been stabbed in the back. Laws can be passed; laws can be amended or deleted.......through the voters. So send those who can really help the workers to deal with the companies fairly and good social interaction amongst the players involved in the business. It shouldnt be lopsided amendments to please a favoured party ignoring the rest of the food chain..In this instant, the workers are short-changed. Dont vote BN; it has failed to support the workers and voters. Dont ask MCA either. The party too had failed in its mission through its ministers in the cabinet. The workers must stand united now and vote a party which champions the workers..................Vote wisely
