Workers Struggles: Asia, Australia and New Zealand
30 July 2021
Contract doctors strike in Malaysia for permanent jobs
About 7,000 contract doctors employed in Malaysia’s public hospitals walked off the job across Malaysia on Monday to demand changes in their terms of employment. About 23,000 frontline contract doctors are employed under a temporary system established by the government in 2016.
The strike, which also affected COVID-19 care centres, was in defiance of threats from health authorities and police. Clothed in black, the doctors returned to wards soon after the walkout, having ensured patients were being looked after. The contract doctors’ strike (
Hartal Docktor Kontrak ) demanded that these doctors be given permanent jobs. Currently in a career limbo, short-term contract doctors are blocked from professional advancement and their pay is at least 30 percent lower than permanent public health doctors.

Ryan Teahan, a clinical nurse co-ordinator at Wellington Regional Hospital s post-anaesthetic care unit, was among the 30,000 nurses striking over pay and conditions on Wednesday. (First published June, 2021) Part of this included staffing hospitals according to the care capacity demand programme, software which helps hospitals better set safe staffing levels, and variable response management which ensures there are enough clinicians on shift should workload pressures increase. All 20 boards were supposed to have started using the programme by June 30, but only 10 have. It also included the pay equity claim which aimed to address sex-based pay discrimination, while the pay offer would lift base pay-rates by $1800 a year and a lump sum payment of $1200. Members were generally happy with the pay-aspect of the rejected deal, but were unconvinced it addressed safe staffing issues.
