Its president, Khalid Atan (left) said workers, particularly those in the lower income group, were finding it difficult to make ends meet in view of the rising cost of living.
He also urged the government to make it compulsory for private sector companies to provide a RM300 per month cost of living allowance for employees with immediate effect.
Khalid hoped the government would take into consideration the situation of 10 million private sector workers when the 2015 Budget was presented this Oct 10.
