MUT says government tariffs document 'not clear enough'

The Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) said today that the latest government document on the utility tariffs was not clear enough to ensure that its members and pensioners would not be negatively affected.

In a statement issued hours after the document was welcomed by the CMTU and its affiliate the UHM, the MUT said its own position was shared by another nine unions.

The MUT, which is also affiliated to the CMTU, said it was never asked for its opinion by the confederation. In view of the fact that the CMTU had still gone ahead and welcomed the government proposals without consultation, the MUT said it had no confidence in the current CMTU leadership.
