GWU registers dispute with Enemalta

The General Workers’ Union has registered an industrial dispute with Enemalta and warned the corporation that its failure to observe an agreement on the payment of allowances could lead to industrial action.

The union said the allowances are due to Credit Control Section employees, who are responsible for the collection of overdue water and electricity payments.

The union said that the fact that the corporation was not honouring the agreement was a clear sign of its incompetence and inefficiency. It failure was also demotivating the employees.

Workers at this section did their utmost to meet targets and in October managed to recover more than €5.5 million in arrears for the corporation, the union said.
