Laid off Arrow Pharm workers in the dark about alternative jobs

Arrow Pharm employees are still in the dark about their future, despite reports that new jobs have been found for all 110 made redundant last week. Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin general secretary Josef Vella told Times of Malta he was surprised by a report under the heading 'Saved' in yesterday’s l-Orizzont that announced alternative employment had been found for all workers. Economy Minister Chris Cardona said last night: “The indication is that alternative employment could be found for all 110 if they are made redundant.” Speaking earlier, however, Mr Vella said the UĦM had no such information and the first meeting of a specially set up task force between the union, the government and employer organisations was scheduled to take place today.
