UHM warns collective bargaining unit of industrial action

Union says public administration collective bargaining unit has ignored requests for negotiations on new sectoral agreement.

The Union Haddiema Maqghudin’s public workers section has given an ultimatum to the finance ministry’s Public Administration Collective Bargaining Unit (PACBU), citing a lack of interest in the continued negotiations on an agreement for legal officers.

The union said various emails and reminders had been sent, but no answer had been received from the PACBU. The union said it would order industrial action unless negotiations resume.
