Malta Chamber welcomes action against workers’ abuse

The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry has welcomed action taken by the authorities against worker exploitation and outright infringement of national labour laws.

In a press statement, the Chamber maintained that the rights of workers, irrespective of their nationality, must be safeguarded, in their interest and in the interest of the common good.

"The Malta Chamber condemns this recently exposed case of abuse as it fears it might tarnish the reputation of the local manufacturing industry as well as business in general," the statement read.

"The Malta Chamber also praises the efforts of the media, which were instrumental in bringing this case to light."
