PETALING JAYA: Unions say workers are ready to return if more economic sectors gradually reopen, provided that the herd immunity among workers has been achieved and tight standard operating procedures are practised at workplaces.
Malaysian Trades Union Congress deputy president Mohd Effendy Abdul Ghani said as workers wanted to keep their jobs, there was the worry that some employers might not follow the SOP once given the green light to operate.
“The government has announced the National Recovery Plan, which is to partially open once the number of cases has gone down. We want industries to reopen but what we want more is for the government to completely focus and intensify the vaccination of workers from all sectors.
