2006
ILO violation 87 : Exploiting a loophole in the labour legislation, a new title of "Process Specialist" was given to employees at British American Tobacco previously designated as "Process Technician." This pseudo promotion stripped 15 British American Tobacco Employees Union (BATEU) members of their right to belong to the union, and prevented another 38 workers from joining the union. The BATEU stands to lose as much as 60 per cent of their membership. An appeal to the Director-General for Industrial Relations against this action was pending at year end.: Malaysia
