Alternative employment identified
Employees who were not chosen or did not apply to join Malta Enterprise or Public Broadcasting Services Limited (PBS) will be assigned a new job in the coming days, the General Workers' Union (GWU) said.
During meetings which GWU services and media section secretary Karmenu Vella had with government officials, alternative employment for these workers was identified.
Mr Vella said the re-deployment exercise for former PBS workers would start as planned, the GWU having insisted that an alternative job should be found a week after the closing of applications for voluntary retirement schemes.
The union said it had been insisting with the authorities for months to find alternative employment for former employees of the Malta Development Corporation, the Malta External Trade Corporation and the Institute for the Promotion of Small Enterprise who had either not been chosen or did not apply to join Malta Enterprise. Yet to date only a few had been given an alternative job.
Meanwhile the union said that a number of PBS employees who were not chosen to work with the company had complained to the Ombudsman, with the assistance of GWU lawyers Aron Mifsud Bonnici and Marvic Debarro.
The union said the Ombudsman had accepted its offer to give him information which could help in the investigations he was conducting.
