Updated: Workers at St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation to strike
(Adds comment by St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation)
The Professionals and Services Employers Union this afternoon ordered its members employed by the St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation to take strike action as from tomorrow.
The union said that earlier this month it had requested a meeting with the foundation to discuss a number of disputes between employees and the foundation, but the foundation never acknowledged this request.
The PSEU said industrial action would continue until all issues were discussed and solved.
Cynthia De Giorgio, spokesman for the foundation, told timesofmalta.com that a meeting between the foundation and the union was to have been held last Wednesday but was cancelled because the shop steward was on vacation leave.
"The ball is in their court," Ms De Giorgio said.

How very amusing to read Ms de Giorgio's justifications, as if a new date to call another meeting cannot be fixed! Oh goodness, my sides are cracking with laughter!
To verify tyour final statement the questions needed to be answered.
OK why was the meeting set for that day,
who agreed with the date ?
Was the shop steward aware of the meeting schedule.?
It is a farce to strike when it is your fault that the meeting didnt take place.
Call in the army......
Call in the GaucHi Cunninghams, Jfarrugias, J Mangions and A brincats of this world to save the day.....
