In this Labour Day episode of Made in Malaysia, we take a look back at the history of unions in Malaysia — from their roots in the colonial era and role in the independence movement, their waning powers following independence and the continued struggle for fair wages, job security and dignity. We speak to Charles Hector who wrote a series of articles in 2017 chronicling the unions and labour movements in Malaysia.
