After a long struggle, another breakthrough has taken place for UNI-MLC in getting voluntary recognition from AEON Big (M) Sdn. Bhd. for AEON Big Employees' Union.

The management of AEON Big M Sdn. Bhd. kept their word and informed UNI-MLC that if we have more than 50 % +1 membership, the company will grant voluntary recognition, which means no secret ballot.

UNI MLC handed over the claim for recognition on the 29th of April 2016 and on 19th May 2016, Mr Mitsuru Nakata, Managing Director of AEON Big (M) Sdn. Bhd. granted voluntary recognition to AEON Big Employees' Union with 1177 members, equivalent to 68%.

Management has also agreed to do the salary deduction for the AEON Big Employees' union after MLC fulfill some procedural requirements.

This is the first Japanese retail entity to grant voluntary recognition to the retail union in Malaysia and a huge step forward in the region.
