GWU head accuses Go of manoeuvring against its workers

GWU general secretary Tony Zarb this morning flagged Go as a company 'manoeuvring against the interests of its workers'.

Closing a union conference this morning, he said the company had made a €26 million profit but transferred this money to a Greek company so as to appear as if it made losses.

It was its workers who had worked hard for the company to obtain success and they should not be made sacrificial lambs by seeing their conditions deteriorate or by being laid off.

Mr Zarb spoke on the situation in Libya and called on the government to address the situation of exports as Maltese companies were finding it difficult to deliver their goods.

Mr Zarb accused the government of discriminating against the GWU and claimed that his officials were being told by people in government that they were comfortable discussing situations with other unions but not with the GWU.

He hailed as historical the recent meeting between the Confederation of Malta Trade Unions, the GWU and Forum, saying this could be a step towards a new era of trade unionism in Malta.

The GWU is only a watchdog, GWU is not the employer of GO workers and other thousands of workers suffering injustice under this fragile PM hands. How can somebody blame GWU for such bad rights on workers? The goverment intention to twist facts, and balme everybody except the admistration of GonziPn, had become the order of the day in Malta. Listen to Net news, what is happening in Greece, is because these last two years there is a Socialist goverment, and never mention that the socialist Goverment of Greece inherited the situation from the former Nationalist goverment of Greece. Some news coverage insult the peoples intelegece.
