Malaysian Trades Union Act

The Malaysian Trades Union Act regulates the formation, registration, and operation of trade unions in Malaysia. It aims to protect workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively, ensuring unions are legally recognized and operate transparently. The Act sets out requirements for a union’s registration, rules, membership, and rule enforcement, while also outlining conditions under which unions can be dissolved or deregistered. Its purpose is to balance workers’ rights to unionize with maintaining public order and economic stability, providing a legal framework that supports fair labor practices in Malaysia.
