“Why spend millions on kebaya uniforms for flight attendants and MAS’ workers when the current uniform is already a globally well-known symbol and image for MAS?”
Compensate laid off staff, not splurge on new uniform: Union raps MAS
…
The National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) has criticised Malaysia Airlines (MAS) over its plan to have designer Farah Khan revamp its uniform at a time when the carrier is in the process of recovering.
The airline returned to profitability last quarter after a restructuring under chief executive officer Christoph Mueller, but not before letting go of some 6,000 employees.
Nufam, in a statement today, pointed out the airline appeared more willing to spend on a new uniform design instead of sufficiently compensating those who were axed.
“MAS’ management should first prioritise the paying of aid to 6,000 workers who were sacked.
“Compensation to sacked workers was low but expenditure for items running into the millions went up. This is unfair and irrational,” it said.
