Union strikes over VADS take-over of TM call centres

Little Birds confirmed with Screenshots that there was a strike outside Menara TM after office hours today over VADS' takeover of TM call centres.

From this internal memo (PDF available here) circulated from the office of the Group CEO this morning, it is obvious that Datuk Abdul Wahid Omar (Dawo) was informed of the employees' sentiments.

Dawo describes the VADS take-over, which are worth RM254.6 million involving the transfer of contact centre business, asset and staff of TM Retail contact centre operations, as an in-sourcing exercise.

Switzerland-based Union Network International had picked up news about the strike by NUTE/TM members some four hours ahead of this blog. It carried a statement by Mohamed Shafie BP Mammal, President NUTE Malaysia.
