DEFINATION OF
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
• The term industrial relations refers to
reviewing relationships between
employers and their employees in a
working environment (Maimunah, 1999).

• In addition, industrial relations are also


defined as a study of relationships
between employers, workers and trade
unions within the scope of employment
(Malaysia Employment Law & Industrial
Relations, 1996).
Cont..
• In general, any industrial relations
system involves three parties ie
employers, employees and governments.
Similarly, the system is practiced in
Malaysia. According to Maimunah (1999),
the parties involved in industrial relations
are employers and their organizations,
employees and their unions and
governments. However, in Malaysia, there
are also influences from international
organizations such as the International
Labor Organization or ILO.
Cont..
• The purpose of this association is to
protect the employees. This association
can represent the public and also in the
private sector. Therefore, there have
some association just only represent in
public sector but the others can
represent both sector which are public
and private.
• In Malaysia, there have three types of
trade union which are the trade union for
employee of public sector, trade union for
employee of the private sector, and for
the last type is the trade union for
employer.

ministries, departments, occupations,
statutory authorities and local
authorities.

by establishments, industry, trade and
employment.
5. MACHINERIES ESTABLISHED
FOR INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
• Public Sector has its own
machineries, which do not exist in
the private sector such as Salaries
Commissions and Salaries
Committees, the Public Service
Department, and The Joint
Councils.
• Otherwise for Private Sector the
machineries that can be used is not
unique as what in public sector for
example their used is picket.
Public Sector : By Salaries
Commission and Cabinet
Private Sector : By
Salaries Comittee
Picket
CONCLUSIONS
• Industrial relations established in the public sector
are different from the private sector. The
characteristics of public sector unions are unique.

• However, its unique features do not deny the rights of


civil servants from union representatives. Despite the
differences as discussed above, both the public and
private sectors require each other to ensure the
continued survival of the nation.

• The trade union movement in Malaysia has today


changed its traditional role of merely promoting
bread and butter issues of its members. It is today
involving itself in the economic development of the
country. Industrial relations activities are geared to
promote equality, improve living standards of workers
and create a better and safer working environment.
