The General Workers’ Union this afternoon urged the government to adopt into Maltese law, a decision taken by the European Parliament whereby temporary workers engaged by employment agencies would, from day one, enjoy the same rights as other workers engaged by their employer.
The union said this decision resolved a six-year impasse on a directive on temporary workers.
It had now been confirmed that temporary workers and regular employees in the same company would enjoy the same rights, even when the temporary workers worked abroad.
