Enemalta surpised by GWU actions
02/02/2010
Enemalta would like to express its utter surprise at the industrial actions announced by the GWU given that the Corporation has complied with all commitments agreed to with the Union following discussions held during a meeting on the 22nd January. Surprisingly the Union ordered actions two weeks after this same meeting. The GWU is being inconsistent in its position and is again being requested to pursue meaningful dialogue instead of resorting to industrial actions. It is significant to note that the Union has ordered industrial action 5 times over the last 12 month period on issues related to the Credit Control section; a section composed of 9 employees.
The Union has also failed to abide by the collective agreement and first seek resolution through the Director, Department of Industrial & Employment Relations through conciliation prior to proceeding with issuing directives.
The Corporation once again invites the GWU to immediately withdraw its directives and proceed with discussions.
