EDUCATORS were left fuming after
three agreements for different grades
within the public sector were sealed
last week, while their sectoral agree-
ment remains in abeyance.
Teachers, LSEs and school management
staff, who spoke to MaltaToday on con-
dition of anonymity, said talks on their
agreement have dragged on for too long.
They also expressed frustration because
they have no idea what is being discussed.
"The government announced three
new agreements were signed at the start
of the public service expo that impacted
some 7,000 public sector workers but said
nothing about the failure to conclude an
agreement that will impact more than
10,000 educators," a secondary school
teacher said.
The common question among all
those who spoke to this newspaper was:
"Where is our agreement?"
