A new sectoral collective agreement has been signed by the General Workers Union (GWU) and the Ministry for Health, which it said, is in favour of health sector workers.

The union said that this comes following several months of discussions between the GWU and the management and includes a revision of what was signed in 2008 for allowances to cover responsibilities in addition to those required in their role.

The union went on to say that the matter had caused a great deal of controversy due to discrimination against several workers who are union members which had led to a number of directives being issued.

“The revision of this agreement means a lot to these workers because they have finally been recognised on an equal footing with others,” the GWU said.
