The Forum Unions Maltin has expressed its disappointment that it has been excluded by the government from being represented on committees where federations have members.

The latest exclusion was in the European Economic and Social Committee, the forum said in a statement.

Another committee in which Forum is not represented is the health and safety committee in the OHSA and the Gozo Regional Committee.

The Forum said that the 12 unions it represents should have a say in these committees, and it requested a meeting with the Prime Minister to discuss the situation.
