PUTRAJAYA, June 22 (Bernama) -- Cuepacs has called on the government to give three options to 25,000 local government employees involved in solid waste management when the service is privatised.The solid waste management privatisation is to be implemented in stages from Aug 1 starting from local governments in the northern region.Cuepacs president Omar Osman said that all the while, the workers were given two options -- to join the privatisation process or lose their jobs.He said Cuepacs met Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at his office here today to ask the government to consider another option which was to allow the workers to continue serving through corporatisation if they refuse to work as private sector employees."The third option is not something new. I had been practised before so there is nothing wrong if the Housing and Local Government Ministry does the same," he told Bernama.Omar said Cuepacs had also asked Muhyiddin who is Education Minister to look back at the status of contract employees at the Education Department in the states.He said over 400 employees at the Kelantan Education Department lost their incomes for eight months after their contracts were not renewed."The same thing will happen to 119 employees at the Terengganu Education Department when their contracts that expire on June 30 are not renewed," he said.The deputy prime minister, he said, had agreed to look into them."Cuepacs is willing to wait and hopes Tan Sri Muhyiddin will look at the matters carefully for the sake of the wellbeing of the workers," he said.-- BERNAMA
