Hundreds caught up in GWU strike at Enemalta

Industrial actions ordered last February over human resources inside Enemalta’s credit control have left hundreds of domestic and commercial clients waiting for service from the energy corporation which is still awaiting a decision from the Industrial Tribunal for directives to cease.

Two complainants who spoke to sister newspaper Illum said they were about to move to a new house in April, pending their application for an energy meter. In one case, a family had already terminated their rental contract prior to moving into the new home, but now will be facing the prospect of moving into a house with no electricity.
