Malta International Airport has signed a new collective agreement with the General Workers Union and UHM Voice of the Workers, the two unions representing around 76% of the company’s growing workforce. Covering the five-year period between 2023 and 2027, the newly signed agreement has bolstered the company’s existing employee package with added benefits. New special leave categories, including carers’ leave and pet bereavement leave, have been introduced with the aim of helping employees cope with situations that bring added pressures or emotional distress. An additional two days of paternity leave have also been added to the 10 days stipulated by law, while maternity leave continues to be offered in line with the local legislation.
