The General Workers Union said today that it was disappointed that the Budget did not meet the people’s expectations.

Union General Secretary Tony Zarb told timesofmalta.com that after the Budget, the people would still continue to shoulder the burdens imposed on it by the government.

He regretted that the Finance Minister had ignored proposals to ease the burden, made by the GWU.

On the cost of living increase, Mr Zarb the cost of living increase, although based on the existing mechanism, was inadequate for the people’s needs.

He said the GWU Council would issue its official position on Thursday.
