  • 9 years ago
Some 15,000 MAS workers have threatened to stage a picket if the AirAsia-MAS deal goes through.

"If it goes on, we will have no choice but to picket. We are ready to picket!" announced MAS Employees Union (MASEU) president Alias Aziz during a press conference at the union's headquarters in Subang Jaya today.

Alias said that the industrial action if it takes place will have the support of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) based in London as well as the Air Transport Workers Union Sarawak (ATWUS) and the Air Workers Union Sabah (AWUS).

Malaysian Trade Unions Congress (MTUC) president Mohd Khalid Atan, who was also present, also pledged the support of the umbrella body representing trade unions in Malaysia, to the MAS workers' cause.
