For #IWMD2025, BWI’s Malaysian affiliates STIEU (Sabah), TEUPM (Kuala Lumpur), and UFES (Sarawak) join the global campaign to #StopDeadlyDust and “heat stress” at work.
Despite facing poor working conditions, low wages, and job insecurity, brave trade union affiliates—especially in the wood industry—stand united for better OSH and stronger protections.
All of the global federation Building and Wood Workers International BWI Peninsula-Malaysia affiliates will collaborate in a press conference/protest that will be held at a Kuala Lumpur construction site demanding justice for Nepali migrant workers who have died in Malaysia. BWI will publish a report on 28 April documenting eight fatalities and a further 20 injuries where no compensation has been paid whatsoever.
In Sabah Malaysia BWI affiliate STIEU is planning further activities to be announced shortly.
