The Disability Commission has lost its second bid to suspend directives related to the Malta Union of Teachers (MUT), highlighting ongoing tensions between the commission and the union. Although specific details about the directives and the nature of the dispute are not provided, the commission’s repeated efforts to intervene suggest a deep-seated concern about the impact of these directives on individuals with disabilities.
This development comes amid broader discussions about disability rights and accommodations in various sectors, including education and employment. In related news, courts in other jurisdictions have been actively working to uphold disability rights, such as the Supreme Court’s recent decision to strike down a rule excluding visually impaired individuals from judicial services in Madhya Pradesh. Similarly, the Delhi High Court has ruled that disability pensions cannot be denied solely because a personnel was posted at a peace station when the disability was diagnosed.
