The General Workers’ Union signed a new collective agreement for the employees of Gasco Energy Ltd, a leading operator responsible for storage and bottling of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Malta. Through this collective agreement, the employees will benefit from improved employment and salary conditions. This is the second agreement covering a three-year term between the GWU and Gasco Energy.

The GWU’s secretary for the Chemicals and Energy Section, Rita Dimech, said the agreement showed the appreciation of management to the commitment by the company’s employees. “Over the years, employees have shown that they are capable of meeting the challenges and of turning them into opportunities for the company.”

Gasco Energy CEO Paul Agius Delicata said the collective agreement was based on the satisfactory working conditions already enjoyed by the employees and would guarantee an increase in salaries and other benefits over the next three years. He thanked Ms Dimech and the shop stewards for the cordial and successful manner in which the negotiations were conducted.

The collective agreement was signed by Ms Dimech and by Mr Agius Delicata. Present for the signing were shop steward Salvinu Mizzi, assistant shop steward Bernard Desira, plant manager Robert Bonavia and the company’s chief financial officer Stephen Muscat.

Set up in 2012, Gasco Energy is a joint venture between Multigas Ltd and Liquigas SpA Italia. The company currently employs 28 workers who operate the LPG facility at Bengħajsa filling cylinders of Liquigas.
