SUBANG JAYA: The National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) has questioned the lack of action by the Human Resources Ministry in defending the rights of Malaysia Airlines Bhd’s retrenched workers. Nufam president Ismail Nasaruddin said it was sad that the ministry took two years to decide that this case would not be referred to the industrial court. “We fought for this case since 2015 when Malaysia Airlines retrenched 6,000 workers, of which 3,600 took their cases up to the ministry. We will request for a meeting with the ministry by next week to address this issue,” he said. He had said the decision not to refer the cases to industrial court were made after a discussion between Industrial Relations Department and the ministry’s legal counsel.
