A hiving agreement for Air Malta's ground handlers has been reached with GWU, Minister for Tourism Konrad Mizzi announced today.
Speaking at a press conference launching Air Malta's 'Go Light' product, Mizzi said that he will be announcing the agreement later on today which will see ground handlers, such as passenger, cargo, and luggage handlers, carved out of Air Malta to form a separate company wholly owned by the Government of Malta.
This will mean that 450 to 600 will move for Air Malta to another company, Mizzi revealed.
He went on to say that the government is engaging with other unions, and it is their objective to have collective agreements take effect in January.
