Malta - Teachers’ union calls for strike at College - November 29, 2010

The MUT (teachers’) union has called for a one-hour strike on Monday 6 December at MCAST, the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology, due to what it said the College’s repeated failure to abide by established agreements, work practices and legislation. Among the union’s grievances are that promotion criteria are not being respected and provisions are being enforced contrary to the current agreement, in spite of various meetings held with the MCAST management. Another is that part-timers are being requested to register themselves as self-employed, contrary to established legal frameworks.
