Air Malta 'close' to finalising retirement schemes in GWU worker categories
Air Malta has announced today that it is close to finalising the proposed retirement schemes for those staff categories that the GWU represents.
The proposed agreement covers Voluntary Redundancy Schemes and Early Retirement Schemes and the resulting restructuring in the numbers of employees required.
A statement issued by Air Malta, said that it is "premature for either party to discuss particulars and the General Workers Union is bound to first hold a meeting for its members to discuss the proposed schemes and the changes on other issues."
The Union represents around 800 employees within various staff categories at the airline.
Discussions with the other three unions recognised by Air Malta are ongoing and announcements on the state of negotiations will be made as progress is achieved.
