GWU thanks Enemalta employees

The General Workers' Union thanked Enemalta employees for working tirelessly yesterday to solve the problem at Marsa power station which left the country without electricity for a number of hours.

The union said that the dedication and flexibility of workers showed that the corporation's infefficiencies were not the workers' fault but due to structures and old machinery.

This was contrary to a claim by Nationalist MEP Simon Busuttil that inefficiencies at Enemalta were because the corporation had more workers than required.

It was clear that in several sections, Enemalta had less and not more workers than necessary.

The union said that while it sympathised with the public and commercial, industrial and tourism establishments, workers should not be blamed for the fault.
