<\/b>Following yesterday\u2019s announcement of the phased closure of the Carlo Gavazzi plant in Bulebel, the General Workers\u2019 Union (GWU) has mobilised an immediate action plan to support all affected employees.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The union has already initiated discussions with several Government entities, including the Ministry for the Economy and Malta Enterprise, to formulate a robust transition and employment integration strategy. Simultaneously, since the news of the closure broke, several private companies have already approached the GWU with the clear intention of offering employment to the skilled workforce.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe immediate interest from other companies is clear proof that the Carlo Gavazzi workers possess highly valued and sought-after skills in the Maltese labour market,\u201d said GWU Secretary General Josef Bugeja. \u201cWe are actively working to ensure that every worker is presented with an alternative role or a new opportunity that respects their dignity and experience.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
David Darmanin, Secretary of the Technology, Electronics and Communications Section, added: \u201cImmediately following the meeting with the company, our priority was to engage with the workers\u2019 representatives. We are building a clear process, step-by-step, to support every affected employee and ensure their voice is central to this consultation.\u201d<\/div>\n
The GWU will continue to place the workers at the heart of the process, working tirelessly to connect them with new employment and, where necessary, with retraining programmes.<\/div>\n
