INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY - 100 YEARS

In recognition of 100 years of International Woman's Day, the National Union of Newspaper Workers calls on the government to legislate the following:

1.  Six months paid maternity leave.
2.  Workplaces with more than 100 employees to have child care / nursery centers.
3.  Sexual Harassment Act

It is time the Government honors Malaysian women and their immense contribution to this beloved nation of ours by mustering the political will to do what is a socially responsible thing to do.

The National Union of Newspaper Workers will continue its struggle for more woman's rights at the workplace. The union has already succeeded in getting 90 days maternity leave in New Straits Times Press and 75 days in Star Publications.Whilst employers are still giving lame excuses when it comes to child care/nursery centers at the workplace.

HOORAY TO ALL THE WOMEN OUT THERE!
