latest comment from C Xerri, 18/05/2024 20:15: Seems that MEA are not quite happy with the financial package that the Government is offering the MUT... They are afraid that if agreement is reached this would lead employees in the private education and other sectors to ask for higher salaries.

Updated: MUT, minister in exchange on '€10,000 increase' proposal

latest comment from S. Farrugia, 19/05/2024 05:24: L- MUT hi union serja u qed taghmel l- affarijiet kif suppost. Skont ir- regoli tat- tredjunionizmu ma tistax toqghod tperrec dettaji tan- negozjati qabel dawn ikunu konkluzi. Hu l- ministru li hareg dettaji ta' cifri li hallew l- MUT bla kliem ghax tali cifri qatt ma ssemmew f' kwazi sentejn ta' negozjati. U ghalhekk nemmen li kull ma qed jaghmel il- gvern issa hu li jipprova jisraq il- vot ta' l- ghalliema billi jivvinta u jhawwad.

latest comment from av, 17/05/2024 20:39: Some are saying that the starting salary being offered is that of €36000. What they are not saying is that the package is only available to those who are entering the profession now!!!!! Won't this result in teachers resigning en masse and applying afresh simply to benefit from this agreement ?

latest comment from RF, 19/05/2024 05:30: Is it a coincidence that this project was concluded on eve of elections?

Updated: Government unveils masterplan for Gozo general hospital

latest comment from Angus Black, 18/05/2024 11:30: The new Gozo l and the Metro will be inaugurated together at a joint event. The future date remains unknown just as the contents of the hospitals Magisterial Inquiry are still sitting in the dark somewhere in Castille. Only Abela and Muscat know what's in it and by the looks of it, it ain't pretty. The more violent and hysterical attacks by Abela and Muscat against the NP and Repubblika are, the more proof that all the serenity they once boasted they had, has now turned to despair. Karma Zepp, Karma Booby.
