The FORUM group of trade unions complained today that despite declarations by the prime minister, it was still not invited for a meeting of the MCESD which today discussed the Caritas report on poverty in Malta.
The FORUM in a statement signed by Paul Pace, recalled that it had attended a meeting with the Prime Minister on March 22 when it was given to understand that it would join the MCESD (Malta Council for Economic and Social Development). Dr Gonzi later also said at a PN activity in Mellieha that the FORUM, which is a member of the European Trade Union Confederation, should also be in the MCESD.
The FORUM asked whether all these were empty promises.
