The Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin is “seriously considering” industrial action at the government abattoir and departments falling within the Resources Ministry, saying talks on veterinary workers failed to take place. The union’s government employees section registered an industrial dispute after saying it had received no reply to an e-mail sent on Wednesday requesting a meeting. The meeting was requested to start fresh negotiations for workers in the veterinary service support stream and workers in other sections, it explained.
