In his Facebook comments, Noel Abela, the Education and Employment Ministry’s chief of staff, said (about the Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin), among other things: “Now they speak up, these cowards.”

He said the union members should be ashamed of themselves for failing to speak for 25 long years, referring to the previous Nationalist administrations.

I think he should be reminded that the UĦM did not interfere in the General Workers’ Union work at the time.

The GWU was doing such a good job.
