Il-WIEHED U SITTIN LAQGHA GENERALI ANNWALI

Il-HADD 17 ta’ Jannar 2010


Nilqaghkhom ghal din l-Wiehed u Sittin Laqgha Generali. Din is-sena iccelebrajna bi kbir is-sittin sena.

Meta nharsu lura malajr nifhmu ghaliex wara sittin sena l-GRTU illum hi b’sahhita aktar minn qatt qabel. Ahna ma twelidniex b’kumbinazzjoni. Twelidna ghax Malta, anke sittin sena ilu, kienet qed tinbidel u s-sidien tan-negozju u s-self employed kienu taht il-mannara. Il-haddiema tal-paga mal-partikular u l-haddiema mal-gvern, u dak iz-zmien dawk mas-servizzi Ingliz, qamu u riedu d-drittijiet taghhom u waqqfu t–trade unions kbar tal-haddiema. Ir-rizultat malajr kien deher, ghax bdew it–taxxi u l-pizijiet fuq is-sidien u fuq is-self employed. Ghax f’Malta dejjem hekk konna. Jekk jien migdum, nara li haddiehor ikun migdum ukoll, u flimkien naraw li hadd ma jingidem. Il-GRTU ghalhekk twaqqfet, biex fil-pajjiz ikun hawn ftit tal-bilanc. Mhux ghax haddiehor kbir fin-numru allura tghaddi tieghu. Ridna li l-lehen tas-self- employed u tas-sid tan-negozju jinstema wkoll. In-nies taghna jaghtu servizz lill-komunita, jhaddmu flushom, jirsistu u jinvestu u jhaddmu n-nies u huma wkoll ghandhom drittijiet kemm bhala sidien ta’ negozji kif ukoll bhala cittadini. Fil-GRTU ahna kburin li konna dejjem ahna t-targa tas-sid tan-negozju z-zghir u medju. Ahna li poggejna l-interessi tas-sid tan-negozju fuq l-Agenda Nazzjonali ta’ pajjizna.
