At the International Labour Conference in Geneva, attended by all member states of the International Labour Organization (ILO), Parliamentary Secretary for Social Dialogue Andy Ellul reaffirmed Malta’s commitment to social justice and decent work. These two principles lie at the heart of the ILO’s efforts to support the shift from informal to formal economies, where workers benefit from structured conditions and fair wages.
Addressing the plenary session, which included Maltese social partners, Dr Ellul stressed that in an era of rapid global change, safeguarding workers’ rights remains a key priority for the Maltese Government. He highlighted Malta’s pioneering role in regulating platform work, becoming one of the first countries globally to introduce legislation ensuring that workers in this sector are not paid below the national minimum wage. These legal reforms aim to reduce exploitation and promote fair and dignified employment conditions.
While in Geneva, Dr Ellul also held bilateral meetings with the labour ministers of Cyprus and Lithuania, Yiannis Panayiotou and Inga Ruginienė. Discussions centred on Malta’s approach to digital platform work, which drew praise from both counterparts. They noted that Malta had set an example for much larger countries through its early and proactive regulation of this emerging sector.
Dr Ellul concluded by emphasising that Malta’s efforts have not only improved the lives of local workers, but also positioned the country as a leader in labour market reform. The government remains committed to implementing laws that positively impact workers across all sectors.
