The 11 unions who are in dispute with the government over the water and electricity tariffs are requesting information from the Malta Resources Authority.

The unions had requested a meeting with the Prime Minister, who directed them to the regulator. They initially refused to meet the regulator and issued a directive to consumers not to pay their bills within the 45-day window.

The unions asked the authority for a chronological statement of the revision process and its involvement. They asked the authority for a copy of the correspondence and relative reports, including the report on the social implact of the revision, if this had been commissioned and heeded.

The unions asked the authority to treat the matter with urgency.

The 11 unions are the General Workers’ Union, the Malta Union of Teachers, the Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses, the Union of Cabin Crew, the Union Ħaddiema Bank Ċentrali, the Union Technical and Clerical Mepa, the Union Professjonisti Awtorità għall-Ambjent u Ppjanar, the University of Malta Academic Staff Association, the Airline Pilots Association, the Union Periti u Inġiniera Servizz Pubbliku and the Association of Airline Engineers.
