AMCOR workers in Malaysia are organizing for a living wage, safer working conditions and better benefits. And unions around the world \u2013 the Amcor Trade Union Alliance \u2013 have their back.<\/p>\r\n

The company is engaging in union-busting tactics \u2013\u00a0even unfairly firing\u00a0Sister Siti Sanijah Binti Musa, Secretary of the BEMIS Asia Pacific Workers Union. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

This dismal is the latest in a long campaign in Malaysia to stop worker organizing. Anti-union tactics include:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t
• Intimidation<\/strong>: Workers are being harassed to discourage union membership, with incidents serious enough to warrant police complaints.<\/li>\r\n\t
• Pay Reductions<\/strong>: Union leaders like Sis. Siti have been financially penalized, with wages cut by 50 per cent for 19 days.<\/li>\r\n\t
• Voting Interference<\/strong>: During a secret ballot in April 2024, the company deliberately sent workers home early, preventing many from voting, particularly targeting migrant workers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

  But AMCOR Malaysia workers are not giving up, and Graphical & Packaging unions are united to demand an end to Amcor\u2019s union-busting. As BEMIS Asia Pacific Workers Union prepares to resubmit its recognition request at the end of October, trade unions have launched a campaign to show support.<\/p>\r\n

  How You Can Help<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

  \r\n\t
  1. Donate to the Solidarity Fund<\/strong><\/a>: Support Sis. Siti Sanijah and other Malaysian workers financially punished for their union work. Every donation helps cover lost wages and sustain their fight for justice.<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Spread the Word<\/strong>: Share campaign materials<\/a> and encourage your colleagues to get involved. Together, we can amplify this message across Europe and beyond.<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Ask Questions<\/strong>: Challenge your local management about Amcor\u2019s policies towards union-busting and demand transparency.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

     Together, we can send a clear message to Amcor: workers\u2019 rights are non-negotiable. An injustice in Malaysia is an injustice everywhere. Let’s stand in solidarity with Sis. Siti Sanijah and all Malaysian workers\u2014because when we stand together, we win together!<\/p>\r\n

     This campaign is led by the Amcor Trade Union Alliance, UNI Graphical & Packaging, IndustriALL Global, and their affiliates.<\/p>\r\n
