Maltese workers have had to endure their fare share of austerity measures in the form of high utility bills, a top union official said today.
GWU general secretary Tony Zarb said the higher utility bills families have been paying for the past few years were akin to the austerity measures blighting European economies.
He was speaking at a half-day seminar this morning organized by the GWU and the two trade union federations CMTU and Forum to mark the European day of action and solidarity.
