It is disappointing, to say the least, that the trade unions are recommending a "No" vote in the upcoming referendum. Workers are the ones who will benefit from the proposed measures included in the treaty. We must restore confidence in the country.

It has been designed to promote an economy that will keep money in reserve and not think in the short term.
