The Malta Union of Bank Employees – MUBE is escalating industrial action at HSBC since no counter-proposal has yet been received. This follows HSBC’s unilateral decision to pull out of an agreement which MUBE insists it had agreed way back in August last year.

The MUBE is now encouraging staff to continue supporting the directives by obeying a directive which calls for a sit-in strike action for today Wednesday 1 April. 

MUBE insists that the bank must make a better effort to bargain fairly and be practical with all categories of staff across the board and ensure that this is achieved.

 

MUBE also understands that the directive might have its own direct unwarranted impact on customer service and therefore regrets any inconvenience caused.
