Press Release 15/11/08 -"UNIONS SHOULD FORM TRADE UNIONS COUNCIL" Zminijietna - Voice of the Left
Following the historic demonstration involving all Malta's trade unions against Government's revision of utility rates, Zminijietna - Voice of the Left reiterated its appeal to Maltese trade unions to form a trade union council which works in the interest of the working class.
Zminijietna, which participated in the demonstration said
"Trade Union Councils exist in various countries whereby trade unions discuss policies and strategies and come up with proposals in the interests of workers. Trade Unions should unite whilst respecting each others' identities".
"Due to the neo-liberal direction Malta is moving towards, the country is witnessing an increase of non-unionised workers, part-time workers, workers on contract and informal workers, and once again, this requires strong trade union action, given that much of such employment is characterised by a lack of rights".
"It is through solidarity and collective action that the working class can improve its situation. A Trade Union Council would therefore be a step in the right direction against the 'race to the bottom' of neo-liberalism".
