09 February 2013
President
Paul Abela has this morning attended a breakfast session organized by the
Labour Party during which their electoral programme was explained. In his
intervention he stated that he was pleased to see that both the Labour and the
Nationalist Party had taken up a good number of GRTU proposals that formed part
of the official document GRTU presented to both political parties.
He continued saying that this document was drafted
following intensive consultation with members and with the organizations with
which the GRTU is affiliated at EU level, EuroCommerce and UEAPME.

Mr
Abela reminded the Labour Party of what an unjust law the Rent Reform was and
that this law was endorsed by both political parties. The law was passed in
support of the land lord and left the tenant without any protection. The tenant
was given a 20 year deadline, 3 years have already passed and within 17 years
the enterprise leasing the building will be thrown out. Mr Abela appealed to
the Labour Party leader that if he is elected in Government he would seek to
find a solution to this unjust situation. In his reply Joseph Muscat said that
if he is elected to Government he would be ready to meet on the issue.
