New Air Malta roster would cause hardships for workers

Air Malta employees are disillusioned at proposals being made for the introduction of a new roster, the implementation of which would cause them unnecessary hardship.

The General Workers’ Union said in a statement this morning that the software to draw up this roster cost the company €30,000 and it had been paying €1,000 a month since April to keep the system going.

The GWU said it has been objecting to the new roster and its implementation has been postponed three times. It said it would not allow workers to suffer unnecessarily and requested the company to evaluate the roster considering its benefits and repercussions.

The union promised to continue to work for a solution to be found.

B`kull rispett sur Formosa. Xi tridha taghmel il-union meta l-istess union bieghet u dahqet bil-haddiema u dawk li kienu shabkom li ippretendew u ippuzaw li kienu xi tradejunonisti tradewkom u kienu mixtrija minn demkom u demm ta` dawk li telqu mill-kumpanija. Il-GWU hija traditur tal-haddiema. Issa naraw x`taghmel bi Grech li kien jiekol u jhawwad maghha!!!

Agree. It seems that Air Malta's position is creeping towards the Drydocks' way.

I agree with C. Camilleri. And that is also thanks to the GWU.

Air Malta employees fed up!!!!!!! How about us taxpayers, aren't we also fed up? Paying taxes for a bankrupt airline!

Did you notice that the GWU in all its glory did not shed A SINGLE LINE on what these hardships are? Of course not, you (I do not wonder why) show sadness when Air Malta gets an award - and call it a lie. However if the GWU says something - and not all of it - then obviously they must be speaking the truth! I now understand what you mean by political machinery!
