‘Substantial amount’ of transfers at SVPR prompt industrial action ordered by UHM
Union Haddiema Maghqudin says transfers ordered do not conform to any established model
The Union Haddiema Maghqudin has ordered industrial action after the management at St Vincent de Paul Residence ordered a "substantial amount" of transfers.
According to the union, no established model - such as last in, first out - was followed. The transfers were reportedly issued on Friday to be implemented on the following Monday.
"It is unacceptable for the management to order transfers at such short notice with the excuse of reform," section secretary Gian Paul Gauci said.
The union said heads were appointed to new sections "without any form of transparency".
"The union expected such choices to be based on meritocracy by issuing an expression of interest and making the process more transparent for those who were interested in the post," it added.
Gauci said the union should have been consulted. Until such changes are carried out in a transparent manner, the union will continue to order a series of industrial actions at the residence, he added.
