Air Malta’s four trade unions will for the first time tomorrow hold a joint meeting with management that will be chaired by President Emeritus George Abela. The former president was asked by the government to co-chair a committee tasked with negotiating expired collective agreements as the airline braces itself for part-privatisation. His role on the committee is to facilitate negotiations between management and the unions while keeping the bigger picture in mind.
