Around 200 former port workers held a protest walk in Valletta, calling on the prime minister to meet them by the end of the month to discuss their call for participation in the Port Workers Contingency Fund. The workers, led by the General Workers' Union, are seeking an out-of-court settlement to be given what they claim they are due. The workers had contributed to the fund which now runs into several million euros.
