GWU directive to Foreign Ministry officers

People believe that officers at this ministry get a prestigous wage..in fact its a very average one, difficult to rise in scale and the ministry is severely understaffed. The duty phone is alot of responsibility stress and pressure which should be duly rewarded, especially because it entails dedicating nights and weekends.

All Ministries of Foreign Affairs work on this roster basis, some of them not getting any compensation whatsoever in return but is part and parcel of their Foreign Office duties. Is this the competitive, first class Malta that all citizens want?

Il-gvern stess ihaddem xoghol prekarju ghax veru dawn l-officers iridu jahdmu gimgha lejl u nhar ghal allowance ta 50 euros ghall-gimgha shiha minghajr mistrieh bil-lejl. Fejn hi l-UHM biex tghidilna taqbilx ma' dan il-hmieg. Mhux ta' b-xejn kulhadd qed jitlaq il-foreign Affairs , ghax n-nies stmati taz-zibel u hadd m'ghandu say. F'dan id-dipartiment smajna affarijiet strambi .

Forsi is-Sur Zarb ghandu isaqsihom jekk jaccettawx qabel jordna azzjoni!!!!! Bhal ma ghamlu is-security guards tal-Union!!! Kompli sur Zarb halli aktar nies jindunaw li xejn u xejn mhu ha jinbidel minn kif kontu taghmlu l-affarijiet fi zmien il-gvern SOCJALISTA. Int l-anqas l-ingravata ma flaht tbiddel. U dawk li bidluha malajr jghaddilhom. Jekk ghandix nafdakom bit-tmexxija tal-pajjiz.

If these officers do not want to work "on call" then they cannot expect a posting overseas. An alternative to this problem would be that the officer on duty reports for work at the Ministry "after office hours" thus he/she will not be on call and those not need to make use of duty mobile or laptop.

Why don't YOU treat YOUR security officers in a similar way, Tony Zarb? We ALL heard about the 'precarious' conditions YOU made them work in, which, according to you, they accepted as at their advantage! I wonder whether these workers need a 'pushup' as well!

Issa naraw jek taghmillx l istess meta jkun hemm il Labour fil Gvern...

Sa ftit snin ilu il GWU stess kienet thallas l overtime lis-security guards b rata inqas milli suppost, u meta fethu halqhom qaltilhom "jew hekk jew indahlu lil haddiehor"..

Imbasta l-haddiem l ewwel u qabel kollox..
