"Workers should not be made to pay for wrong decisions taken in the past"

Welcome to capitalism. Bad business decisions have consequences and the market does not always forgive them..

Either accept that or try living in the shared misery of communism.

But isn't this was usually happens everywhere. Wrong decisions by managements and the workers are the ones who suffer.

I do not agree that staff be absorbed into government jobs:

1) Malta is not a communist state

2) Redundancies are life, get over it and look for new jobs

3) Malta's government is over run with everyones buddies who cant be bothered working, so they are happy with a low effort 'job for life'.


I do empathise with the staff, but unfortunately it is their responsibility to shout if they do not think a, b or c is correct. Staff can see the company is going nowhere...then they can find work elsewhere.

There should be legislation in place where each worker who has been with a company receives 1 weeks pay for each year they have served, at the time of redundancy. Malta is very much behind in this regard.

Dear UHM , we the taxpyers are paying the price of past mistakes taken by successive governments now !!! To name a few , I have had to pay for the fiascos at the Drydocks , WSC , Telemalta , transport subsidies , Sea Malta and so on and so forth . How this little island has not been declared bankrupt , I dont know , but I am pretty sure , someone out there sure knows how to cook the books !!! And as time passes us by , we the taxpayers , God bless and help them , will have to keep digging deeper and deeper for past and present inefficencies . End of.

It was over drinks that the deal to buy the RJ 70's, which put Airmalta in a very vulnerable position, was struck. I wont mention the two politcians involved. This was just one in a long series of costly, government induced moves over the years which have brought Airmalta to its knees. Airmalta was used, nothing more nothing less.
