Both employer organisations and employee representatives such as trade unions and even Civil Society, need to pull the same rope when it comes to the new COLA mechanism so that employers and employees are safeguarded. Both employer organisations and trade unions (representing employees) need to see how they will be affected and ensure that the interests of employees are protected and vice-versa.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"ago32-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"ago32-4-0\">The discussion on COLA comes after the Finance Minister revealed that the Government will be unveiling a new mechanism during today&#8217;s national Budget speech.<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"ago32-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"ago32-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1356\" src=\"https:\/\/mcesd.org.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pearsall-3-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mcesd.org.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pearsall-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/mcesd.org.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pearsall-3-1030x581.png 1030w, https:\/\/mcesd.org.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pearsall-3-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/mcesd.org.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pearsall-3-705x398.png 705w, https:\/\/mcesd.org.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pearsall-3.png 1063w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"ago32-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"f1hoo\" data-offset-key=\"ago32-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"ago32-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"ago32-4-0\">Dr Stephanie Fabri, an economist, lauded MCESD&#8217;s work in terms of the working groups that were set up. The working groups comprise of expert researchers from different fields who conduct research and present reports with recommendations to the Government through MCESD.

She was referring to the fact that certain measures proposed or discussed don&#8217;t depend on MCESD to be implemented. <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"ago32-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"ago32-6-0\">Mr Pearsall\u00a0 spoke about productivity and said that productivity didn&#8217;t mean that workers needed to work more than they are supposed to as that is the wrong perception if so.
