Social Partners not being taken seriously – Malta Chamber
The Malta Chamber has formally expressed its utter dismay to the MCESD Chairman and Minister of Finance after it received a communication stating that pre-budget consultation process at MCESD was being reduced to just two meetings.
The Malta Chamber stated categorically that two meetings were certainly not sufficient and did not do justice to such a matter of key national importance as is the Budget.
The letter signed by the President stated that no serious consultation can occur in two meetings and within such a short time-frame. The Malta Chamber feels that Government is not taking the Social Partners seriously and is thus only paying lip service to social dialogue and consultation. The Malta Chamber appeals to Government to re-think its approach and remedy this unfortunate situation.
