GWU backs MUT in government, church schools dispute
The GWU said this afternoon that it was backing the Malta Union of Teachers in its dispute with the government and the church school authorities.
The GWU said it was unacceptable that the governemnt, which should be a model employer, did not respect what was agreed in collective agreements. This sent the wrong message to other employers. It said it would back action taken by the MUT and was directing its members to join in.
The MUT has complained that several clauses in a 2007 reform agreement have not been brought into force by the government and promised talks on an addendum on improved allowances have not started. It has also accused the Church of dragging its feet on a new collective agreement.
The union has ordered a strike on Thursday.

People like Victor Vella never cease to amaze me!!!
In Malta we have a number of unions....All but two are working together, and people like Victor Vella suggest that all the unions except these two are puppets....
How is the weather on the moon Dear Mr. Vella?

Why should we support the Unions and teachers when most of them are not giving their 100% share of a day's work in the education of our children. Wait for this year final results in all Forms and Entrance examinations and you will understand what I mean.

According to your reasoning, since Gonzipn and CMB said they got the support of a Commissioner and others in the dispute with Italy in the illegal immigrants dispute, they are puppets in their hands.

This confirms my suspicions that the MUT is a puppet in the hands of the GWU.Mr Bencini has forgotten what the GWU and The Labour goverment did to the MUT.OH MY MY WHAT A SHORT MEMORY SOME PEOPLE HAVE.Fighting for your rights is one thing but being a puppet is never a gentleman's option.
