The Malta Dockers Union has requested recognition as the representative of the workers at Tug Malta after a verification exercise with the Registrar of Trade Unions showed it enjoys membership of the majority of the workers.

The union said it first claimed to represent the workers on November 3 when it presented new members and presented their resignation from other trade unions.

The current collective agreement for Tug Malta workers, which expires in December, was negotiated by the GWU.

The MDU had also taken over from the GWU as the recognised trade union of port workers and was involved in a bitter battle for recognition at Malta Freeport.
