A strike by HSBC workers is set to be suspended for a second time, following a new directive issued by bank employees’ union MUBE on Monday afternoon. The suspension will come into effect at 4.30pm on Monday, ahead of a new meeting with HSBC management later in the day, the union said. The strike was then suspended on Wednesday, after union representatives met for conciliatory talks with DIER, the government’s industrial relations unit. Just two days later, on Friday, the strike was back on, with the union saying the bank had put forward a “wholly unacceptable” offer for compensation. The dispute revolves around a compensation package for employees, with union officials pointing to a clause in their collective agreement related to terminal benefits.
