UHM registers industrial dispute with Housing Authority

The Union Haddiema Maghqudin (UHM) has registered an industrial dispute with the administration of the Housing Authority after talks for a "reasonable" financial package for the workers reached a standstill.

According to the union, a proposal was tabled on 30 June but the Housing Authority's management has persistently delayed reaching an agreement.

"If the Housing Authority doesn't revise its position, an industrial action will come into force within 48 hours," the union said.

It urged for common sense to prevail and avoid unnecessary industrial action.
