Court stays NUBE-MCBA festival aid talks pending appeal
Judge says the banks’ association faces serious and irreversible prejudice if negotiations and disputed payments continue before its appeal is decided.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court has granted a stay on the requirement for the Malayan Commercial Banks’ Association (MCBA) and the National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) to resume negotiations on festival aid payments for workers, pending the MCBA’s appeal to the Court of Appeal. The court ruled that the parties could suffer serious and irreversible prejudice if the stay was not granted, as the outcome of the appeal could directly affect the dispute and potentially require the relitigation of matters referred to the Industrial Court.
The dispute centers around festival aid payments and the parties’ 20th collective agreement, with NUBE claiming one month’s salary as festival aid for eligible B40 and M40 members.
