Union loses bid to retain secretary after employment status ruling
Judge says salary payments and Perkeso contributions alone do not prove that Kamarul Baharin Mansor was employed under a contract of service.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court has dismissed a trade union's bid to overturn a decision by the director-general of trade unions that its secretary, Kamarul Baharin Mansor, was no longer eligible to remain a member or hold office because he was not a workman. The union, Peninsular Malaysia Maintenance Services and Waste Management Workers Union, challenged the director-general's May 2024 decision not to register Mansor as their secretary for the 2023-2026 term, after a complaint was lodged questioning his eligibility.
The court ruled that the director-general acted within his powers in determining Mansor's employment status, dismissing the union's judicial review application.
