The GWU said today that it welcomed the talks which the government is having with the Police Association on trade union rights to policemen and said it hoped this process would also be extended to the other uniformed services including the AFM, the Civil Protection Department and prison wardens.

Home Affairs Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici in revealing the talks, said the process does not involve the right to strike.

The GWU recalled that it had held seminars and made appeals to the government to give uniformed personnel the right to join a trade union. It also observed that the Labour Party was also in favour of this principle.
