On 1 May, Workers Day, we joined Moviment Graffiti and several other organisations in launching a document calling for better worker’s rights and working conditions in the Maltese Islands.

The document states that the Maltese economic system is built on worker exploitation. “The economic growth of the past years should have improved the quality of life of workers.
