The Union Haddiema Maghqudin has registered an industrial dispute with the Malta Environment and Planning Authority because the management has not changed its position regarding the collective agreement for employees.

The industrial action will come into force on Tuesday, 31 January and Mepa staff are ordered not to communicate by telephone with the public, not to attend internal or external meetings with the public and not to meet the public in general.

The union is reserving the right to review, and if necessary, increase its action.
