GPS-WPA welcomes politicians' comments

The Gibraltar Private Sector Workers and Pensioners Association (GPS-WPA) today welcomed the recent comments of the opposition parties on the Rock. The Association has held a series of meetings over the last couple of months with the GSLP, the Liberal Party and the PDP and looks forward to meeting the GSD when this can be arranged.

As regards the three political opposition groups however, the GPS-WPA endorses many of the stated views and intentions of these parties. The issues include a scheme for additional financial support for pensioners to ensure that their standard of living kept up with economic growth and the maintaining and development of Community Care.

The pressure group emphasises its wish to be on good terms with all Gibraltar's parties and therefore looks forward to completing its meetings with all four local political parties.

GPS-WPA meets Chamber

The Gibraltar Private Sector Workers & Pensioners Association (GPS-WPA) recently met with Ed Macquisten, the Chief Executive of the Chamber of Commerce.

The meeting was another of this summer's programme intended to discuss the aims and objectives of the Association with local organisations. The GPS delegation included committee members John Martinez, Leslie Bruzon and Lyana Armstrong-Emery. The meeting was very productive with much common ground discovered between the GPS-WPA and the Chamber of Commerce. The two organisations are hoping that they will be able to meet again on a
frequent basis.
