KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — Thirteen civil society groups are banding together to hold a May Day rally on May 1 to highlight the daily struggles of low-income workers.
“The B40 segments, especially workers, small traders, students, and unemployed have been badly affected with the high cost of living,” Parameiswary Elumalai, one of the organising committee members, told a news conference here. “We are living daily without a fixed income. We are asking for the government to set us up with EPF and Socso. This is for our security if anything goes wrong,” he said.
Abdul Andieka also said the government should not prevent the formation of trade unions or their attempts to grow their membership in a workplace or union busting as it is a way of shutting down workers’ right to expression. The other NGOs that will take part in the rally are Suara Rakyat Malaysia , Malaysian E-hailing Union, Centre for Independent Journalism, and Food Sovereignty Forum.
