Union Protests Penang Turf Club's Refusal To Negotiate Retrenchment

GEORGE TOWN, June 16 (Bernama) -- Members of the Club Employees Union of Peninsular Malaysia (CEUPM) held a peaceful protest today over the Penang Turf Club's (PTC) alleged failure to engage in negotiations with its retrenched workers since May 31.
The union's Secretary-General Rudy Rusly said the employer's action violated the spirit and principles of collective bargaining as enshrined in the Industrial Relations Act 1967.
This, he said, concerns the right of employees to be represented by a trade union in matters related to terms and conditions of employment and retrenchment.

Trump says US conducted 'very successful' strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites

WASHINGTON — The United States (US) President Donald Trump said Saturday that American forces completed 'very successful' airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites amid fears of a wider conflagration in the region, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. Trump said a 'full payload of' bombs was dropped on the 'primary' Iranian nuclear site at Fordo, and additional strikes were conducted at the facilities at Natanz and Esfahan. All American warplanes departed Iranian airspace, he said. 'All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. 'NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,' it reported Trump said on social media. The Fordo nuclear facility is an underground uranium enrichment site near Qom, Iran's deepest and most fortified nuclear installation designed to withstand conventional airstrikes. Iran had strongly warned Trump against involvement in the conflict with Israel, saying if the US directly entered the hostilities, it would lead to 'irreparable consequences'. Trump has repeatedly threatened to take military action against Tehran and maintained that the US would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, something Iran has repeatedly denied that it seeks to acquire. Hostilities broke out June 13 when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes. Both sides have reported fatalities and injuries in the ongoing exchange of airstrikes. — BERNAMA-ANADOLU
