In my opinion, Club Med Malaysia, did not want to recognise the union because they do not like the demand of the union, and refuse to work with third party. As for the employees, they want their right to protected, which is the main purpose of this union. In Malaysia, it is okay for employees or employers to form a union as long as they are separated from each other. Other than that, employers do not have the right to stop any of their workers to join a union or to form a union. This is quite unfair to the employees because Club Med is not a small company, the employees there might felt the injustice n their employment contract and need someone to represent them to the collective bargaining and collective agreement. This case have been thru many procedure that is time consuming and costly, this is not good for the company. Because until now they still did not recognise the union. In the video, John Angelus mentioned that they are currently having a collective agreement at industrial court level. This means that they no longer refuse to recognise the union, but both parties are in conflict with rules and demand from both parties. It will be good for the employers and the employees if both parties come to an agreement as soon as possible.

From my opinion, the club med should consider the occupancy allowance and should listen to the union . 

This is an interview with John Angelus of the IUF-affiliated National Union of Hotel, Bar and Restaurant Workers (NUHBRW) of Malaysia. They have been asking for recognition for 12 years from Club Med. John also mention that secret ballot is not relevant method anymore because its time consuming. By that time, most of the workers will probably resigned from their jobs and the organization will lack of workers to participate in the secret ballot. He say that Club Med did not honoring the fundamental of human rights and they want to fights for their right. That means by getting the recognition and represent the workers. 

In my opinion, the employees of Club Med have the right to form and enter any union as long as the union is following the law.  It is not fair for the employers to not give the recognition even after the union is following the rules and regulation.  From employer’s side, why they still didn’t give the recognition that NUHBRW needed is maybe they afraid later on the union will demand too much and limit their power on controlling and managing their organization.

The interview was done with John Angelus of the IUF affiliated National Union of Hotel, Bar and Restaurant Workers (NUHBRW) of Malaysia. Mr. John talks about the opposition of Club Med to recognizing a trade union at a hotel in Malaysia and the role of the IUF in the NUHBRW. He stated that they already submitted the claim for recognition for 12 years but unfortunately the club med did not give the recognition. After address the matter in IUF at Guinevere, finally they had a good new that the club med is agree to not persuade to this matter. The hotel is preferred to use the secret ballot but it will take a long time to conduct the secret ballet. And because of that happened most of the employee left the hotel and they will not have enough employees to the secret ballet.  

In my opinion, Mr. John seeks for the help to recognize the union. Employees have a right to whether to join the union or which union they want to join as long as the union follows the law.  In my opinion, the employer did not recognize the employee union it is because the union bargaining is high, it also will limited the power of the management to run their organization, and the production of the organization might need to be stop.  

On employee perspective, employee have the right to join and form a union and employer should not prevent their workers from forming a union which is contradict to Industrial Act

On employer perspective, they might think this union can cause trouble to organization as they keep demanding thing that relating to welfare of their members.

In my point of view, Club Med Malaysia did not want to give the recognition as thay did not agree for the union demands. The employees submitted a claim for the recognition because they want their right to be protected. The reason why employees decoded to form this union because they are not satisfied with terms and conditions of the employment. Because if they were satisfied with the terms and conditions, they would not wasted their time waiting the recognition for years. Referring to what i have learned in class, workers have right not to join or join a trade union. This situation is unfair for the employees as they seems been forced to not joining the trade union that they have been submitted for years until they have to go through many procedure in court of  law which is costly. I think they are worth to get the recognition because Club Med is a big company.

John talks about the opposition of Club Med to recognizing a trade union at a hotel in Malaysia and the role of the IUF in the NUHBRW finally winning union recognition for their members. In my opinion, as the employees, they had the right to form a union as to protect their right as employees. As employers, they do not have right to stop any of their workers to join a union or to form a union. This is quite unfair to the employees, because there might felt the injustice and their employment contract. This case have been through many procedure that is time consuming and costly, this is not good for the company as they still did not recognize the union. Lastly, the Club Med should deliberate the occupancy allowance and should listen to the union and must wait for 6 months.
