Biex zgur ikollhom income il-GWU anke l-pensjonanti huma mheggha jkunu membri. Ara taghmilx sens.

Imma l-aqwa li jorganizzaw it-tea parties ghall-pensjonanti u fil-birthday jibghatulhom card.

Kif qrajt dan l-artiklu mill-ewwel indunajt x’ghandu f’mohhu Muscat.

Fatt maghruf li l-GWU naqsulha hafna membri, jigifieri anke l-income. Specjalment minn meta spiccat id-Drydocks fejn kien hemm l-ikbar numru ta’ membri.

Nahseb bis-sahha tal-forzi tad-dixxiplina f’union ser jiggarantixxi l-pagi ta’ Tony Zarb u l-ufficcjali l-ohra.

My easiest days at the Dockyard as personnel manager were when the Labour government – in other words, Mintoff – was in control.

The GWU was on the Management Board and they were toothless and accepted wage freezes and non-payment for overtime.

Mintoff himself told the Dockyard workers they were a bunch of eunechs.

That is what would happen if Muscat allows the army and the police force to be unionised.

In reply to John Schembri.

Yes for a union – but no for the right to strike – VAT-CET -cash registers deja-vue.

If the police and soldiers are given the right to join a union than it goes without saying that their pension after twenty five years of service should go also.

I cannot imagine the state of our country if the police or soldiers union calls for a sit-in or work to rule.

Truly immortal words from an all-seeing, all-knowing asshole.

Well, if he gets them to join the GWU … under a Labour government they won’t be instructed to strike anyway.

Since when do the police, the armed forces and the civil protection department constitute disciplinary bodies ?

I hope this is a gross reporting error.
