Trade Unions in Malaysia explains the roles, functions and legal responsibilities of trade unions in Malaysia. It also discusses the collective bargaining process, providing tips on how to help make the process more efficient and less contentious. Industrial actions may be instituted by a trade union when its members are involved in a trade dispute with their employer. Although workers possess the general right to strike and picket, this right is very closely regulated under Malaysian Industrial Laws so as to minimise any disruptive and potentially crippling consequences to the country. trade Unions in Malaysia describes the legal issues involved in instituting industrial action as well as what employers can do to manage strikes and pickets.
