Agricultural officers within the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs are not using any means of communication under directives issued by the Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin (UĦM).
The union claims the government has still not replied to its call to start talks over the collective agreement for workers within the agricultural class, which has not been revised for over 10 years.
As a result, it has instructed the workers not to use communication devices including e-mail, internet, mobile phones, pagers, fax or telephones.
