It’s bizarre to say the least that the Malta Union of Teachers signed a collective agreement with the Ministry of Education and it still hasn’t even published the agreement.

The Minister for Education still hasn’t met the Malta Union of Teachers after the elections
First, the Ministry of Education and the Malta Union of Teachers enticed everyone to sign an agreement as quickly as possible.
