In-naha ufficjali qalet li dan il-punt tal-25 sena servizz, qatt ma kien issue fil-PNB u qatt ma issemmiet fit-tahdidiet li it-talbiet taghna kienu qed jipperikolaw dan.

Hlas ta’ Overtime il-fuq minn 46 siegha fil-gimgha : Ghadna f’tahdidiet sabiex trinstab soluzzjoni ragionevoli ghaz-zewg nahat.

L-Assocjazzjoni lahqet ftehim mal-Kunsill Malti ghal-iSport sabiex il-membri taghna jibbenefikaw minn skont qawwi meta jinkitbu fil-facilita tal-Qroqq. Iktar dettalji jinghataw mill-ufficjju taghna.

Inhasset il-htiega mill-Kumitat Ezekuttiv tal-Assocjazzjoni sabiex jiccirkola din l-ittra ghall-informazzjoni ta’ kulhadd, kif ukoll biex jigu ccarati xi fatti dwar xnieghat rigward diversi mistoqsijiet li qed iqumu fuq sieghat zejda ta’ xoghol meta wiehed jaqbez is-46 siegha fil-gimgha.

Tajjeb li tkun taf, li fit-23 ta’ Gunju 1993 sar il-ftehim settorjali bejn l-MPO u l-Assocjazzjoni li sal-lum ghadu in vigore, fejn sar titjieb sostanzzjali fil-kundizzjonijiet tax-xoghol taghna. Partijiet ta’ dan il-ftehim kien gie ppubblikat wkoll bhala GHQ Circ 63/1993 li giet fis-sehh fl-1 ta’ Settembru 1993.

Tajjeb li ninfurmawk li ftit taz-zmien ilu saret talba, fil-forma ta’ petizzjoni lill-MPA, minn membri stazzjonati f’certi branki sabiex la darba s-shift/s li kienu qed jahdmu jeccedu s-46 siegha fil-gimgha, gustament talbu sabiex jibdew jithallsu ta’ dawn is-sieghat zejda skond kif stipulat f’dan il-ftehim, f’paragrafu 3.5.2 tal-imsemmija cirkulari.

Din hi kwestjoni li l-MPA qed taghtiha importanza kbira. Tant hu hekk li kienet u ghadha fuq l-agenda tal-Police Negotiating Board (PNB) ghal-dawn l-ahhar xhur. Tajjeb li ninfurmawk ukoll li l-MPA ghamlet laqgha adhoc mal-Ministru l-Onor Dott. C. Mifsud Bonnici LL.D M.P, fejn gie nfurmat b’dak li qed jigi diskuss fil-PNB, kif ukoll bit-talbiet tal-membri. L-Assocjazzjoni temmen li fejn hemm ir-rieda tajba u l-volonta’, xejn ma huwa impossibbli sabiex jintlahaq xi forma ta’ ftehim u soluzzjoni gusta ghall kull naha.

Quddiem din is-sitwazzjoni, l-Assocjazzjoni ser taghti zmien sa l-ahhar ta’ Awissu 2009 sabiex kull min hadem xi sieghat zejda mill-1 ta’ Settembru 1993 il-quddiem, u ghadu ma thallasx, ghandu jimla l-formoli preskritti tal-overtime. Dawn ghandhom jigu mghoddija skond ic-chain of command tal-Korp. Kull membru huwa mitlub li jekk isib xi diffikulta ghandu jigi l-ufficcju ta’ l-Assocjazzjoni u jiddepozita hemm dawn il-formoli.

Minn naha l-ohra jekk min diga’ ghamel talba u din giet accettata mill-Amministrazzjoni tal-Korp, ghandek tinforma lill-MPA minnufih. Dan qed huwa mportanti sabiex jkollna stampa cara ta’ dak kollu li jkun ghaddej. Sejrin niehdu azzjoni favur dawk kollha li jitolbu l-ghajnuna taghna.

Tigi nformat b’aktar zvilupp skond il-htiega. M’ghandek tirrikorri ghand l-ebda membru tal-Kumitat Ezekuttiv, hlief l-ufficjal inkarigat minn dan l-ezercizzju, fl-ufficcju tal-Assocjazzjoni fil-Marsa.

Protest Gudizzjarju rigward il-ksur tal-ftehim settorjali tal-Pulizija tal-1993 para.4.5.2

Il-Kumitat Ezekuttiv, jixtieq li din is-sitwazzjoni tigi rizolta’ mill-iktar fis, u wara li saru diversi tahdidiet fi hdan il-Bord tal-Pulizija ghan-Negozjar bl-ebda rizultat konkret, gie deciz fuq parir legali, li jigu istitwiti proceduri gewwa l-Qorti ta’ Malta.

Sabiex inti tkun parti minn dawn il-proceduri, qed tigi mistieden sabiex tasal wasla sal-ufficcju taghna gewwa l-Marsa u taghti l-kunsens tieghek bil-miktub fuq formoli apposta. Qed jigi mitlub ukoll sabiex jigu prezentati kemm il-karta tal-identita’ nazzjonali u kemm dik tal-Korp tal-Pulizija.

Ikun grat, ghall-iskop ta’ regolarita’ tal-proceduri, li int tgharrafna f’kaz li m’intix interessat tkun parti minn dan il-process. Dawk li ma jaghtux il-kunsens taghhom mhux sejrin ikunu inkluzi fl-ebda proceduri relatati ma dan is-suggett.

Il-Perjodu ta’ meta int tista’ tinkiteb sabiex tkun parti minn dawn il-proceduri

Illum 21 t' Ottubru 2009.

Nixtiequ ninfurmaw lil kulhadd illi s-Segretarju Gdid, wara li saret l-elezzjoni mmexxija mill-Kummissjoni Elettorali li saret nhar it- 2 ta' Novembru 2009 huwa s-sur Neville Mercieca.

Nixtiequ niehdu din l-okkazzjoni sabiex nirringrazzjaw lis-Segretarju Generali precedenti Martin Pace tal-hidma intensiva tieghu fi hdan l-MPA.

Nixtiequ ninfurmaw lill-Kulhadd illi 1st S.M C.Zammit li m'ghadux jifforma parti mill-Kumitat Ezekuttiv tal-Assocjazzjoni. Minhabba din ir-rizenja, PS633 F.Sammut gie nominat bhala t-tezorier il-gdid tal-Assocjazzjoni.

F'isem il-Kumitat Ezekuttiv kif ukoll il-membri kollha tal-Assocjazzjoni, nixtieq nirringrazzja lis-Sur C. Zammit ghall-hidma twila tieghu fostna ghall-gid tal-membri taghna.

Neville Mercieca

Segretarju Generali

Nixtiequ ninfurmaw lill-membri taghna li wara diskussjonijiet mal-Amministrazzjoni tal-Korp rigward is-sick leave, harget ic-cirkulari li b'mod immedjat gabet lil Korp konformi ma sec.4.3.7.3 tal-Public Service Management Code. Nixtiequ nirringrazzjaw lil kull min ta sehemu , inkluz waqt id-diskussjonijiet fil-PNB.

I would like to inform you that as from 1st February 2010, Mr.Martin Pace is no longer part of the Malta Police Force as the he applied to retire on pension on completion of 25 years of service. Due to statutory law and MPA regulations he tendered his resignation as member of MPA as per above.

Il-Kumitat Ezekuttiv, bis-sahha ta Artikolu .2.1.8. ta’ l-Istatut tal-Assocjazzjoni, u dan bis-sahha ta’ l-Artiklu 25(3), ta’ l- Att dwar il-Pulizija, Kapitlu 164 tal-ligijiet ta’ Malta, hatar lis-Sur Martin Pace (ex-segretarju generali) bhala konsulent tal-Assocjazzjoni.

Peress li f’dawn il-granet, fil-pajjiz qamet diskussjoni shiha rigward jekk il-membri tal-Korp tal-Pulizija ghandhomx jinghataw il-facilita li jissiehbu f’Union, l-Assocjazzjoni tixtieq tikkjarifika illi fi hdan il-Bord tal-Pulizija ghan-Negozjar, dan is-sugett ilu jigi diskuss mill-2004.

It-talba tal-Assocjazzjoni hija is-segwenti :

Bi dritt, il-membri tal-Korp tal-Pulizija, jkollhom id-dritt li jissiehbu f’Union u mhux aktar f’Assocjazzjoni. Ovvjament dan ghandu jsir b’certa restrizzjonijiet u kundizzjonijiet xierqa ghal Korp iddixiplinat. Il-maggoranza tal-Pulizija Ewropea kollha jgawdu minn dan id-dritt fundamentali, li ukoll johrog car mid-drittijiet tal-European Social Charter. Ghaldaqstant, nitolbu lil Gvern, li fejn jirrigwardja lil Pulizija, jirratifika dan it-trattat sabiex fl-inqas zmien possibbli nkunu nistghu nwaqqfu l-Union taghna w nigu konformi mal-kollegi taghna ewropej.

B’dan nixtiequ nserrhu mohh kulhadd illi l-membri tal-Korp tal-Pulizija ma jixtiequx li jkollhom il-Union taghhom sabiex jiksbu d-dritt tal-istrike, jew jonqsu mid-doveri taghhom, jew jonqsu milli jobdu ordnijiet moghtija lilhom fil-qadi tad-doverti taghhom.

Wara li ma kienx hemm qbil rigward dan is-sugett fi hdan il-Bord tal-Pulizija ghan-Negozjar, flimkien ma punti ohrajn, gie rreferut ghall-arbitragg kif titlob il-Ligi.

Ahna nemmnu li wara kollox, jekk jitjieb l-kundizzjoniet tal-membri tal-Korp, jirrizulta f’servizz ahjar u aktar efficjenti li minnu jibbenefika l-pajjiz.

Finalment nixtiequ nirringrazzjaw lil dawk l-organizzazjonijiet kollha li taw is-support taghhom.
