In a statement issued on Thursday, Union Haddiema Maghqudin (UHM) said that they will instruct their members to carry out industrial action at Gozo Channel starting this coming Saturday.
The union said that it had registered an industrial dispute with Gozo Channel over an issue of equal rights on pay, which involved two groups of workers doing the same type of work who are being paid at different rates.
UHM said that although they had been in contact with Gozo Channel several times, a solution to the situation had failed to come about, resulting in the decision to take action from Saturday onwards.
