The Malta Union of Bank Employees – MUBE has decided to continue with its industrial action at HSBC as there seems to be no sign of goodwill forthcoming from the Bank, the union said in a statement. MUBE claims that the intransigent and arrogant approach towards the local workforce is the main cause of the current dispute.
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 will continue with its directive which calls for a SIT-IN type of strike action for today Thursday 2 April 2015.
MUBE also understands that the directive might have its own direct unwarranted impact on customer service and therefore regrets any inconvenience caused.
