There have been concerns over workers’ welfare as the economic impact of Covid-19 continues.

They were commenting on a statement MTUC secretary-general J Solomon made on Tuesday, in which he called for the introduction of an emergency regulation that would make it temporarily illegal for employers to lay off workers so that those not covered by the government’s wage subsidy initiative would be protected.

He added that businesses should be allowed to continue managing their human resources according to their needs while abiding by existing labour laws.
