The General Workers’ Union has registered an industrial dispute with Trelleborg Ltd, accusing the management of failing to sign two agreements concerning the technicians’ section and its Marsa mixing facility. The union noted that workers had consented to both agreements, adding employees had recently agreed to working a four-day week to help a struggling Trelleborg.

It said that when management signed the collective agreement it had also set a specific timeframe on the signing of agreements on the various sections. The GWU’s chemical and energy section will be meeting workers’ representatives to set a course of action.
