This consultative board brings together the representatives of employers and the unions where matters pertaining to industrial relations, conditions of work and workers are to be discussed.

In a post on Facebook, Borg commended her predecessor Tonio Portughese for his accomplishments, and expressed her eagerness to lead the process for the betterment of employment legislation, and the wider improvement of industrial relations in Malta.
