马耳他商会反对为公共工人提供带薪文化假,理由是劳动力短缺、成本上涨和私营部门的影响不公平。 Malta's business chamber opposes paid cultural leave for public workers, citing labor shortages, rising costs, and unfair private sector impact.

马耳他商会反对一项拟议的“文化假”政策,允许公共部门的工人在节日和嘉年华等活动中带薪休假,警告说这将加剧劳动力短缺,增加公共开支,使私营企业处于不利地位。 The Malta Chamber of Commerce opposes a proposed "cultural leave" policy granting public sector workers paid time off for events like feasts and Carnival, warning it would worsen labor shortages, increase public spending, and disadvantage private businesses. 众议院注意到,自2019年以来,公共部门的工资急剧上升,现有福利已经超过私营部门。 The chamber notes public sector wages have risen sharply since 2019 and that existing benefits already exceed those in the private sector. 报告告诫说,扩大无生产力增益的带薪休假可能给纳税人供资预算造成压力,破坏经济稳定,敦促决策者将财政责任放在比象征性姿态更优先的地位。 It cautions that expanding paid leave without productivity gains could strain taxpayer-funded budgets and undermine economic stability, urging policymakers to prioritize fiscal responsibility over symbolic gestures.
