A series of severe measures to be taken on over 1,200 ‘illegal’ courier contracts

Feb 16 2021

More than 1,200 non-EU nationals who work with popular food delivery platforms as couriers are employed on “illegal work contracts”.

The Cabinet has been informed that these documents must be revised. In the coming weeks, Malta’s Employment Agency will be included in order to ensure the redrafting of such contracts, otherwise, operators would be liable to fines.

Malta’s employment laws for Non-EU citizens (Third Country Nationals) state that they must be employed on a full-time basis. However, most courier or cab driver platform employ people on a part-time or self-employed nature.

American actor Austin Butler has been locked in to play Elvis Presley for Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming biopic about the King of Rock n’ Roll and he is being trained by a former olympic swimmer of Maltese origin.

Ryan Gambin is an Australian strength and conditioning coach who represented Malta in the men’s 100m butterfly at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and went on to become a personal trainer and fitness instructor in the Gold Coast after his retirement.

Luhrmann is reportedly going for the 1950’s Elvis look with Gambin training Butler particularly in hip movements and squats to mimic Presley’s movement, where Butler would reportedly bust out a random “Oh Baby” in the Elvis voice.
