The General Workers Union (GWU) said yesterday it had proposed, quite some time ago, a restructuring programme aimed at putting Malta Shipyards back in business.
It agreed that taxpayers should be consulted over the future of the shipyards, so much so that it is insisting that the financial position of the 'yards be made public.
The first step of the restructuring process should consist of the setting up of an executive management team which is prepared to work with representatives of the workers, the union said.
The union was reacting to a story in The Sunday Times which reported that the Cabinet is soon expected to discuss the future of the shipyards, whose future is looking increasingly bleak.
