This year's Labour Day event organised by the Malaysian Trades Union
Congress (MTUC) will, for the first time, be celebrated outdoors and at
night, said its president Syed Shahir Syed Mohamud.
The big event, riding on the theme 'Globalisation Eroding Workers' Rights', will take place at Dataran Merdeka, at 9pm on April 30. It will feature a performance by a North Port (Klang) band.
Among the reasons for holding this outdoors is to create public awareness of the plight and rights of workers, and to gauge support for MTUC, the umbrella body for more than 230 private sector trade unions in the major industries.
