ALPA has said in a statement, that it has filed a Judicial Protest in order to “hold Air Malta responsible” for acting contrary to the terms of the Warrant of Prohibitory Injunction issued by the Courts last Sunday.

The Association added that it is also “holding the company responsible for its dealings in bad faith and the irreparable damage which this is causing our members.”

A criminal complaint has been filed by ALPA to both the Director General for Industrial and Employment Relations, as well as the Commissioner of Police, requesting an investigation into the conduct and dealings of the Directors, managers and other officials of Air Malta, the Association said.

This, the Assoication said, is “in relation to the Collective Redundancies contemplated by the company and with regard to the illegal unilateral variation of the conditions of employment of the employees retained, prior to reaching an agreement to this effect with the Association.”

ALPA said that it comes after yet another criminal complaint, filed on 24th May, 2019, in relation to “Air Malta’s failure to allow our members to avail themselves of their statutory leave entitlement over the past years, as well as the company’s failure to pay wages.”

The Association noted that “regrettably, no action was taken by the relative authorities in this respect and the company has opted to ignore the issue completely.”

ALPA concluded by saying that it “remains determined to safeguard the conditions of employment of all its members without distinction and will resort to all means necessary in order to protect their interests.”
