The General Workers' Union yesterday said it was willing to work with the Malta Chamber of Small and Medium Enterprise - GRTU and other organisations in a common front against high fuel prices.

The GWU said it shared and supported the GRTU's stand that the government should lower duties on diesel.

The union said it had long been arguing that the government should not profit from higher fuel prices by increasing its revenue from fuel duties.

The union also complained that the government was ignoring the social partners when it failed to consult with the Malta Council for Economic and Social Development.
