The union claims the timber mill had slashed workers’ wages by 50% in April without consulting them. FMTNews MigrantWorker Timber Sawmill

The Sabah Timber Employees Union claims workers are being discouraged from joining them and are being forced to be part of the in-house union under the mill’s control.

STIEU general secretary Engrit Liaw claimed that the timber mill had slashed workers’ wages by 50% in April without consulting them, leaving the workers – the majority of whom are migrants – in the lurch and threatening their ability to survive during the pandemic. “This contravenes their rights to join, participate and organise trade unions as laid out in Section 9 of the Sabah Labour Ordinance,” said STIEU.
