The Government says it regrets the inconvenience that the public or visitors to Gibraltar may have experienced on account of the impromptu industrial action within the upper rock, cemetery, and/or environmental monitor teams, undertaken by members of Unite the Union and the GGCA – the former citing changes to their working terms and conditions.
