A dispute between Unjoni Ħaddiema Magħqudin
(UĦM) and Maltapost management, which led to postal operators striking at end of May,
came to an end on Wednesday with the signing of their collective agreement.
The collective agreement package was approved by the Maltapost workers both
in Malta
and Gozo. Proposals the management had set forward in May were deemed
unacceptable by the union, leading to industrial action.
The new
collective agreement includes family friendly conditions and has increased the
number of allowances such extra beat allowance. Maltapost workers’ salaries
were also upped.
