WELCOME TO THE CNI WEBPAGE

CAMPAIGN FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE

Was, is and shall remain in favour of Maltese workers

and against Malta's membership of the European Union

WE SWEAR TO FREE MALTA FROM THE SLAVERY, COLONIALISM AND DICTATORIAL ILLEGAL EUROPEAN UNION RULE

TELL YOUR PARLIAMENTARY DEPUTY THAT YOU WANT MALTA TO REGAIN INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM

The GOVERNMENT said that more than 1,000 Shipyard workers shall have to retire from work. 

This means that workers who are more than 45 years old or more shall have to retire according to the schedule that the Prime Minister lately put on the Parliament Table.

In the CNI's opinion it is a great irresponsibility to encourage 45-year old workers to retire from work. 

It is also against the policy of encouraging workers to continue to work until they reach 65 years.
 
The Government will be lacking its social duty when it says that it does not guarantee work for the workers that choose not to retire from work.
 
Because this means that the choice that the workers have is either to choose to retire and take a sum of money, or choose not to retire and endangers that he will end up without a job and without the sum of money.

This is a scandalous example of the Government. 

Because if the Government thus treats the workers in its enterprises, can he discourage private enterprises, such as ST Micro Electronics, not to do the same to their workers?
 
It is not a good justification that is brought forward by the Government that the agreement with the European Union does not allow it to act otherwise on the Shipyard after the end of this year. 

The national interest wins over the agreement that was made in 2002.

If it is not in the national interest that 1,000 workers end their job with the Shipyard before they reach retirement age, the Government is duty bound towards the Maltese people to tell the European Union that the present circumstances in our country do not permit it to encourage 1,000 workers to retire from work at the Shipyard, without previously assuring them with suitable alternative employment.

The CNI believes that this is what the Maltese Government should do to protect the national interests before what is ordered by the EU that is not beneficial for our country.
 
Financially, it will cost our country more if 1,000 Shipyard workers stop working than if the Shipyard is grated aid so as to continue to employ them.
 
From the social aspect it is totally more just for them and their families that 1,000 workers continue to earn their living through their employment at the Shipyard.

From the economic aspect, our country will be better if it grants aid so that with the work of 1,000 Shipyard workers foreign income will come to our country for the work done to foreigners, that their Social Security contributions continue to be paid, for income tax to continue to be paid by the 1,000 workers, who then give back to the Government 18% of their wages that they spend in buying products and services subject to VAT.

The CNI insists that for social, economic and financial reasons the Maltese people should not accept the European Union order on the Shipyard, which means that 1,000 workers retire from their employment, or that the Shipyard closes down after the end of this year.
 
It is not true that those are the only alternative routes that the Maltese have for the Shipyard future. 

The great interest of foreign investors in the Malta Shipyard, and the big demand that there presently is for ship and super yachts repairs, offer us an opportunity to strengthen and develop the Shipyard, and not to make it smaller and split it into many pieces.
 
But we need the perception and the courage to tell the European Union that the Shipyard issue is a national issue to the Maltese people, and that in national issues, the interests of the Maltese people come before the commandments and the policy of the European Union.

The CNI insists that Malta should not submit to the European Union ultimatum that by the end of this year, either retire from work in the Shipyard 1,000 workers, or to close the Shipyard.

Every Maltese person who treasures our country should not submit to the European Union and its parrots in our country ultimatum. 

Our country needs those who push forward, not those who are pulled by their noses by the foreigner.
