💸 UNIONS LOSING GROUND IN PRIVATE SECTOR

✅ A University of Malta academic reports that trade unions are struggling to stay relevant in Malta's private sector.
→ Godfrey Baldacchino, chairperson of the Centre for Labour Studies, wrote the research paper, The condition of ...industrial relations in Malta - a critical remark.

✅ Malta’s workforce doubled from 130,000 in 1991 to 260,000 in 2020.
→ Yet, economically active trade union members only increased by 23,800 (34%) in that period.
→ Most of these are in the public sector-state hospitals, schools, and agencies-which enjoys near-total bargaining coverage.
→ By contrast, just 13% of private sector workers were covered by collective agreements in 2022, down from 33% in 1995.
→ That year, Malta had 130 collective agreements, according to the Department of Industrial and Employment Relations.

✅ In 2022, only 31% of all workers were covered by a labour agreement, among the lowest in Europe.
→ Baldacchino attributes this to a rise in economic migrants and a growing culture of individualism.
→ He notes that many migrant workers, despite their varied backgrounds, are generally reluctant to join unions.
→ Many Asian workers come from more hierarchical cultures. Baldacchino writes they may prefer to negotiate individually, defer to authority, or avoid upsetting their bosses by joining a union.

✅ The report also notes that as neoliberal attitudes spread, more workers believe they must secure their conditions by dealing directly with their employers.
→ Previously, the partisan rivalry between Malta’s two main unions-General Workers Union and Unjoni Ħaddiema Magħqudin-boosted union growth, but political parties no longer urge workers to join.

✅ Baldacchino suggests four strategies to halt and reverse union and collective bargaining decline:
→ First, promote industry-wide (multi-employer) collective bargaining.
→ Second, consider making union membership mandatory, with opt-out options.
→ Third, allow multiple unions—or those with under 50% worker support—to negotiate.
→ Fourth, convert wage regulation orders into sectoral collective agreements.
