The Confederation of Malta Trade Unions expressed its disapproval at the public statements made by the President of the Malta Union of Teachers, particularly regarding the leadership of the CMTU.
The MUT said yesterday it had no confidence in the CMTU leadership.
The CMTU appealed to MUT officials to act within the parameters of the confederation's statute and express their views in a courteous and diplomatic manner.
CMTU, it said, was a democratic organisation where views of the various organisations were aired and discussed in a civil and courteous way and where common positions were established. It appealed to all organisations to discuss and collaborate saying that the future of the trade union movement wasin productive discussions and collaboration, built on credibility and solid preparation.
"The days when one resorted to scathing personal attacks are long over and done with," the CMTU said.
