PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trades Union Congress today said there was no need for a consensus among all its officials for any amendment to labour laws. The letter from Law, dated Oct 14, was addressed to MTUC president, Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor and J. Solomon, who is the secretary-general. He claimed that Kulasegaran had tabled the proposed amendments without the endorsement of the labour centre and Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF). "History has also proven that the NLAC can never come to any consensus on major issues because MTUC and MEF can never agree. "By demanding that NLAC must have a consensus before any amendment to labour law can be enacted, it would mean that we can never improve workers' rights.
