| Abstract: | Malta’s tradition of industrial relations has been inspired by enterprise level collective bargaining in limited parts of the private sector (mainly manufacturing, commercial banks, large hotels) and national level bargaining in the public sector. This leaves a sprawling private sector – composed mainly of large corporate entities with hardly any trade union representation (such as e-gaming and insurance); small and family-owned business; and a considerable ‘gig economy’ with large pools of migrant and female labour – that remains almost totally non- unionised and not covered by collective bargaining. The percentage of collective bargaining coverage in the private sector has decreased from around 33% in 1995 to 27% in 2008 (Baldacchino & Gatt, 2009). [excerpt] |
