The General Workers’ Union has organised industrial action against Malta International Airport. The GWU has ordered workers to refrain from communicating by email as the first step in an industrial action against the airport management, due to the failure to reach a collective agreement for its workers. According to GWU, which is in negotiations with MIA together with Union Haddiema Maghqudin (UHM), the biggest hurdle to reaching a new collective agreement for MIA workers is the company’s refusal to improve working conditions despite increased commercial activity resulting from growth in the tourism sector.
