The Minister for Industrial Relations has been away from Gibraltar and the Union did not want to wait to try to resolve the matter. They have therefore decided to walk-out.
The Government respects the right of working people to carry out industrial action. Given the fact that there is as yet no resolution of the possibility that the United Kingdom and Gibraltar may leave the EU on Friday, it is not a propitious moment to be away from one’s place of work when the public sector needs to be ready to work for Gibraltar at this potentially very difficult time.
