Q1 - How can A.M.C.O.
help with a problem?
You may not find all the answers to your
job problems by becoming an Union member.
BUT
you will be free to present your problems to the
members to the EXCO and have considered.
There are many formal routes for
resolving complaints and disputes. Thus, as soon
as you think you may have a problem, should
raise it and seek Union’s advice. (See Article 5
of the Collective Agreement Between A.M.C.O. -
Maybank).
Many problems at work are not individual,
but affect many workers. As such, you should
raise to the Union to take up as a “common
issue”.
Remember this… “Decent working
conditions means a happier workforce, which
should also benefit the Bank too”.

Q5 - Why join A.M.C.O.?
As a worker, you have a right under
federal law to join a union, select
representatives of your choice and bargain
collectively with the Bank. This helps balance
the power that the Bank has over his individual
employees.
Belonging to a union give you rights
under law that you do not have as an individual.
As long as you had A.M.C.O., the Bank must
bargain with you (via the Union) over your
wages and working conditions.
A.M.C.O. take on the bad managers, and work with
the good to make them better.

Q6 - Why should I be a
member of A.M.C.O.?
As a member, you can take an active part
in decision making.
You can vote, you can hold office and
have a voice in the union. As a non-member, you
will not have a say in the decisions, namely
during the collective bargaining for new CA,
that affects you directly. In addition, as a-non
member, if you have a grievance which has to be
settled in arbitration, A.M.C.O. may not
represent you depending on the circumstances.
