Havana Classics have been a staple event before the eve of any public holiday. The tradition is now getting a return with one of Hip Hop and RnB’s most iconic talents. 

Scoop will be dropping some of his most iconic tracks throughout the years on the 7th of December – so make sure that you’ve saved the date for the night. Oh, and did we mention that it’s free entrance?

Full-time employment up by 5.9% in June 2022.
Nov 16 2022 Share

Registered full-time employment increased by 5.9% in June 2022 over June 2021. Meanwhile, part-time employment as a primary job increased by 6%. 

Jobsplus provided administrative information to the National Statistics Office, showing that over a period of 1 year until June 2022, the labour supply (excluding part time workers) increased by 5%.

This meant it reached 253,662. This was mainly attributed to the year on year increase in the full time register employment at 13,980 as well as a decrease in registered unemployment at 757. 

Throughout June 2022, the accommodation and food services activist and the administrative and support service activities contributed mostly to the increase in employment at 2,577 and 1,802 respectively. 

Registered full time employment in the private sector also increased by 13,908 persons to 201,576. Public sector full time employment increased by 72 people to 51,132. 

The number of people registered as full time self employed increase by 706 when compared to June of 2021. The number of persons registered as employees increased by 13,274. Full time employment for males and females also spiked by 5.9% and 5.8% respectively. 

Registered part time employment in June 2022 increased by 9.1% when compared to the previous year. The sectors that contributed to the overall increase were the professional, scientific and technical activities. This was followed by the transportation and storage sector.

Union calls for Gozitan nurses to be priority at Gozo hospital

Union calls for Gozitan nurses to be priority at Gozo hospital
Nov 16 2022 Share

The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses (MUMN) has threatened industrial action if foreign nurses are employed with the Gozo General Hospital instead of Gozitans currently working in Malta.

The union is calling upon the government to transfer the Gozitan nurses currently deployed in Malta back to the sister island so as to avoid Steward Health Care employing foreign nurses. 

The MUMN described the emergency and operating room services as mediocre, and revealed that this forced Steward Health Care to ask for the transfer of five nurses from Malta to Gozo. 

The health ministry reportedly refused the transfer and this, the union said, will force SHC to employ third country nationals. This also goes against the agreement which MUMN has with the Health Ministry since Gozitan nurses have a right to be transferred to Gozo General Hospitals. 

The union is calling for greater respect to be shown towards Gozitan residents and nurses and said that the ‘nice words during the election campaign by Gozitan MPs that the Labour Party would prioritise Gozitans working in Gozo was just a gimmick based on false pretences.’
