Lecturers to vote on financial package

Lecturers are being asked to vote on a proposed collective agreement and the government’s last financial offer (see table) during their union’s extraordinary general meeting tomorrow.

University of Malta Academic Staff Association president Victor Buttigieg told timesofmalta.com that although the union felt that the government’s offer was not commensurate with the conditions of work of university academic staff, since the government was insisting that this was its final offer, the union was acting in line with its statute and leaving it up to members to decide.

If members voted against the government’s offer tomorrow (Thursday), the union would take the actions it felt were appropriate according to law.
