Unions threaten to picket over MAS-Air Asia deal

SUBANG JAYA: Some 15,000 members from three Malaysia Airlines (MAS) workers' unions say they will picket if the MAS-Air Asia deal goes through. "We do not agree with the collaboration or the move to establish the new airline Sapphire (under the deal)," said MAS Employees' Union (Masue) president Alias Aziz.

Maseu joined forces with the Airline Workers Union of Sarawak and Air Transport Workers Union of Sabah in announcing their ultimatum to the press here Thursday. Alias said the airline and its union workers would be on the losing end of the collaboration between budget carrier Air Asia and national carrier MAS. "This is not the way to revitalise MAS. We should straighten out our own affairs starting with the decision makers," Alias said.
