Maltese workers discriminated at the Shipyard

By the Campaign for National Independence CNI

Alarming information about the Shipyard that the CNI succeeded in acquiring should worry the public and strengthen the workers call for a serious and impartial investigation on how this enterprise is being managed.

The first worrying information is that the Shipyard has engaged a foreigner, John Martin, as a Training Manager, with a salary of £300 daily.

No one knows what he is doing, except that he is paid a fabulous salary, and whom he is training or teaching.

Should not the Maltese public, who pays taxes, know what special qualifications this foreign manager have, that cannot be found in Maltese managers known for their capacity and experience?

Other preoccupying information is about the contract that the Shipyard gives for scaffolding.

Previously, the required scaffolding for work to be done was made by the Shipyard workers themselves.

From some time now, the Shipyard started to give the scaffolding work with a contract for which foreign casual workers were engaged.

Why are permits for foreign casuals being issued when this work can be made by Maltese casuals with a lower expense for the Shipyard?

It is known that both the GWU as well as the Maltese managers are of the opinion that it is better for the Shipyard to engage Maltese casuals who would be flexible and can do other work apart from that of scaffolding.

The fitting question here is why does the Minister for the Shipyard, Dr Austin Gatt, is permitting or authorizing this discrimination against Maltese workers to happen, with increased expense for the Shipyard?

Why is the Government hurrying to issue permits to foreigners instead of authorizing that Maltese workers be employed?

Apart from this, the GWU has long been insisting that is this work is given by a contract, it will be better for the Shipyard that the agreed payment in the contract to be on the basis of a lump sum and not on the basis of time rate.

The GWU is also insisting that the Shipyard issues an international tender for offers for work and not for the Shipyard executives to give the contract to whom they wish.

The scaffolding contract ended in October last year and therefore enough time has passed for the system to be made better.

CNI during the previous weeks had published the fact that the Shipyard Executive Management paid beforehand the contractor who vanished from Malta.

It appears that there is the sum of Lm2,000,000 that the Shipyard had thrown away in an irresponsible manner, and which we who pay the taxes have to suffer.

It is amazing how in front of all these grave allegations Minister Gatt remained silent and cool as a lettuce.

Do you see how we are not alone?

By Eddy Privitera

When I spoke on Smash TV on Thursday, 5 June, I had given proof that not only us from CNI are not alone in Malta because there are thousands of Maltese who agree with us – but I showed how there are many millions more who think the same as us in other European Union countries.

And I quoted a public opinion poll that was held in the United Kingdom by the company ICM Research on 23 and 24 January 2008.

It resulted from this poll that 74% of the British people do not want the United Kingdom to remain bound with the EU with the present Treaties.

While 50% want the United Kingdom to have an agreement with the EU with less ties than the present one and be based on commerce and cooperation and therefore be in the form of a partnership agreement, as was wanted by the Labour Party prior to the referendum.

On Thursday 12 June last week, I spoke about the referendum that was being held in Ireland on the same day.

I said that as the EU together with the Irish Government and nearly all the other parties except one – Sinn Fein – had terrorized the Irish to vote yes otherwise Ireland will end up isolated – as they had said will happen to Malta had the people not voted yes.

Notwithstanding all this terror, the majority of the Irish people – 53.4% voted no, as had been done by the French and Dutch people on the EU Constitution that has now been giver another dress and named it “Lisbon Treaty”.

This no vote of the Irish people has again shown clearly that when the people are allowed to express their opinion – as democracy is supposed to demand – many of the people in Europe say no to the projects of the European bureaucrats to create a single federal state.

It is only wanted by the politicians and bureaucrats who feel happy that they are governing 500 million people instead of a few million in their own countries.

The most vile argument that is being used from these bureaucrats regarding the “no” vote of the Irish people is, that they are saying: “It is not right that three million Irish stop the way of 450 million people, once all the other governments had ratified the Lisbon Treaty.

If the decision of three million is not right to stop the way of 450 million people, then how much is it shameful that a few thousand Parliamentary deputies (in our case only 65 deputies) in all the EU Parliaments just decide the future of 450 million people without giving us the chance to say whether we agree or not with what is going to be decided by the Parliamentary deputies?

As a political observer on the BBC has said, the EU is showing more that it is afraid of democracy.

I hope that none will phone me and tell me: “But aren’t you the only ones who are speaking against the European Union?”

Now I think that everyone has become aware how we from the CNI are not alone.

It is resulting that it is more the politicians and the political parties that are ending up by themselves licking the Brussels Gods.

Big protests against the EU

Hundreds of fishermen are strongly protesting against the European Union policy that is playing havoc with them.

They are protesting because of the taxes that the Union imposes on fuel, which continues to increase its price and the expenses for the fishermen.

These days hundreds of European fishermen came to Malta protesting that the Union had closed their fishing season for tuna fifteen days before its time.

The European Union is showing how mistaken is its policy and damaging for the fishing industry.

He hides the truth about the Shipyard

Without discussing with the representatives of the workers and without consulting with the Opposition, the Government agrees with the European Union about the futures of the Shipyard.

During the last two, three years, the Shipyard was managed in the most irresponsible and incompetent manner.

It appears that the campaign for the blame to be shifted on the workers on the excuse of low productivity and bad workmanship is going to be intensified.

But the blame is of the Shipyard management and of the Government that supported it.

The Government did not accept the workers challenge to hold a public and impartial inquiry with the participation of the Maltese taxpayers.

No to the European Union prepotence

The Irish people brought to nothing the arrogance of the politicians and the prepotence of the European Union who tried to deceive by changing the name of the Treaty on the European Constitution with the title of the Lisbon Reform Treaty.

The “no” vote of the Irish people showed that the popular opinion on the EU is against that of the politicians.

Everything shows that the popular opposition for the leadership and the policy of the Union is widespread in the majority of its member countries, not least, Malta.

Many are the reasons for the “no” vote for the Lisbon Treaty of the Irish majority, among them

* the increase in the decisions that the Union takes with a majority and no longer with the consent of every member country.

These reasons are embraced by many of the people of the Union members, among them by us the Maltese who believe in the policy of neutrality and in disarmament, that we do not want to Maltese Parliament to be denuded from more powers to be given to the Union, and who do not agree that our country will be bound by decisions taken by the majority of the Union member countries that will not be beneficial to our people.

The Irish people did not miss from showing their disgust to the Union policy not to reduce taxes on fuel and other oil products, notwithstanding their high market prices, that are having a bad effect on many industries.

The Irish could also not disapprove the mistaken union policy that encourages that more agricultural land be used for the production of biofuel instead of for the growing of food, and the harsh Union policy that pays subsidies to the land owners for keeping their land fallow.

There is no doubt that these two European Union measures helped to increase the crisis of lack of food and of the high price for cereals.

The Irish “no” vote gives a hard smack to all the politicians who have sold their soul to the European Union.

It uncovers the Union hypocrisy that boasts that it is democratic, when it tried to do everything possible not to allow the people to show with their vote what they think about the Union decisions, because it knows that they will be against them.

The Maltese Parliament ought to feel ashamed for hurrying to vote unanimously in favour of the Lisbon Treaty, without analyzing it and considered its bad consequences for the Maltese people.

If yes, help CNI in its work so that the majority of the people would want to get rid of European Union rule.
