Helu Measuring Instruments, an Italian precision instruments factory in San Gwann, has dismissed five of its nine employees because of the "critical" situation it has been facing in orders since the beginning of the year.

The General Workers' Union said it did its utmost to prevent the dismissals so much so that it proposed a shortened week to safeguard the jobs. However, the company's situation continued going from bad to worse and the dismissals could not be avoided.

The average age of the affected workers is over 45 years.
