Union Protests Penang Turf Club's Refusal To Negotiate Retrenchment
GEORGE TOWN, June 16 (Bernama) -- Members of the Club Employees Union of Peninsular Malaysia (CEUPM) held a peaceful protest today over the Penang Turf Club's (PTC) alleged failure to engage in negotiations with its retrenched workers since May 31. The union's Secretary-General Rudy Rusly said the employer's action violated the spirit and principles of collective bargaining as enshrined in the Industrial Relations Act 1967. This, he said, concerns the right of employees to be represented by a trade union in matters related to terms and conditions of employment and retrenchment.

The protest follows the club's closure after its final race meeting on May 31. The union is demanding that the club return to the negotiating table to discuss compensation for affected employees. 'Employers cannot make unilateral decisions about employees' futures without proper consultation,' the union said in a statement. Union chairman Rudy Rusly told FMT that while initial discussions had taken place, the club later refused to address key issues such as final working dates, outstanding salaries, and retrenchment benefits. 'Since April, we've sent several letters seeking clarification, but received no response. We're disappointed by the lack of engagement,' he said.
