The General Workers’ Union in Malta has represented the dispute related to the industrial issues where it has been shown that the NetEnt’s employees of Malta are greatly threatened by financial security. It also revealed that the business has failed to work for the planned layoffs of the employees. The General Worker’s Union is working great for the safety of the employees and is considered one of the greatest trade union in Malta with the vastness.

They will continuously expect that NetEnt and Evolution Gaming will honor the obligation which is dealt with consultation and try to save the jobs of those. If this is not possible, legal compensation must be paid.
