The Malta Union of Teachers has declared a new industrial dispute with the Malta College for Arts, Science and Technology, announcing a protest for Tuesday.

In a statement Friday, the MUT said that for the past two years and nine months, MUT has been involved in negotiations of a new collective agreement with MCAST. This collective agreement involves eight grades and includes Lecturing grades, Student Support Services grades, Student Mentors, Directors, Deputy Directors, Technicians grades, Learning Support Educators and Senior Research Officers.

In the last days there was a deterioration of negotiations from MCAST which led MUT to reconsider its position, the union said. To this effect and in view of the latest communication received from MCAST yesterday and which is a regression in negotiations, the MUT is hereby declaring a fresh trade dispute with MCAST.

The Union is announcing a protest at MCAST in Paola, in front of the administration block on Tuesday 1 October at 11am. All MUT members at MCAST are invited to join the protest.
