In the last one year, we came across a big population of workers faced with harassment and victimisation at the workplace and some dismissed.

In one scenario, though within the banking industry, they were not members of NUBE but, all was not lost because we could reach out to them still in employment to guide them to first register as NUBE members.

In another scenario where members were already dismissed, we could only advise them to seek assistance from the Labour center but some did not even opt for this opportunity due to financial constraints.

Then in yet another scenario, there were many Maybank Bhd workers; some told us that they were misled into joining the in-house union whilst others told us that they joined since their friends joined the in-house union or that they were coerced to join. Whatever the reason, it is now common knowledge that the unlawful registration of the in-house union set up to undermine NUBE was nullified by the Federal Court.

Workers who joined the deregistered in-house union, knowingly or unknowingly are now left devoid of union protection, they are left isolated without any avenue for advice, assistance or proper representation in addressing their problems. This has and is causing a serious threat to their job security.

Therefore, many of these workers appealed to NUBE for a waiver on the late joining fee to enable them to join or re-join NUBE in order to protect their job security. In the best interest of the workers and his/her family, the National Executive Council decided to accommodate their appeal in the name of solidarity.

Considering the imminent challenges in the banking industry especially the consequences of digitalisation, if we are not unionised, we will face a big threat to our job security that will severely impact our livelihood. Hence, you can clearly see the need to join NUBE which is the only Union that can defend the jobs.

For the reasons stated above, worker from any banks in the non-executive category can now join NUBE without a need to pay the late joining fee.

THIS WAIVER IS ONLY VALID FOR THREE (3) MONTHS TILL 12TH APRIL 2018.

Hurry! don’t miss this opportunity to join NUBE.

Long Live NUBE!

One for all and all for one
