Nurses union calls off industrial action after talks with PM

The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses has called off industrial action after reaching an agreement with the government over the organization of mass events.

Following talks with Prime Minister Robert Abela, the MUMN said in a statement, “An agreement has been reached with all stakeholders that mass events will not take place and be banned completely. Only certain organised events are to take place and such organised events are to be limited in number of attendees.”

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health Chris Fearne tweeted that he appreciated the move by the MUNM.

Actions by doctors is to continue as they say the measures taken by the government are still not enough.
