Professional staff at the Malta Environment and Planning Authority yesterday announced it would be escalating industrial actions with immediate effect, after attempts to resolve the current industrial dispute which started last week, failed.
The union says the management has ignored any attempt to resolve an industrial dispute, registered due to a breach in the collective agreement.
The Union Professjonisti ta’ l-Awtorita’ ta’ Malta dwar l-Ambjent u l-Ippjanar (UPAP) directed its members not to hold any meetings with the planning authority or DCC boards, to refuse seeing deferred applications from DCC or PA, hold no meetings with the MEPA chairman, directors, councils, public officers or government members, or the public, architects and applicants, to refuse any form of communication by email, telephone or fax, and not to attend any meetings abroad. The Union said it reserved the right to escalate actions should no progress in the matter be made.
