Air Malta is discussing a revision of the employment conditions of hundreds of part-time workers but is tight-lipped about its plans.

A number of workers engaged on contract with the national carrier contacted Times of Malta, saying company chairwoman Maria Micallef has told them during meetings that they need to make “sacrifices”.

However, so far they have not been informed of what they are expected to do and whether all employees on the airline’s books, including management and pilots, will also be expected to make sacrifices.

“Last week, we had an unplanned meeting with Ms Micallef, who informed us we will soon be paid a lower hourly rate for our services,” a part-time loader said.

An Air Malta spokesman confirmed that talks on the conditions of the workers on contract were ongoing. However, he would not give details.
