Chief Minister Fabian Picardo today met with representatives of the local Unite the Union branch, as well as members of Spain’s largest trade union Comisiones Obreras and UGT.

Mr. Picardo has been adamant in his insistence that cross border union cooperation is necessary for Gibraltar. During a recent conference hosted by Unite, covering the matter of Industrial Relations, Mr. Picardo insisted that they were looking into convincing un-registered cross border workers to register officially, as they would then benefit from laws protecting workers.

Following this morning’s meeting, held at the Wessex Lounge in the Gibraltar International Airport, Mr. Picardo commented that the meeting had been extremely positive.
