THE Department of Labor and Employment has assumed jurisdiction over a labor dispute between the Manggagawa ng Komunikasyon ng Pilipinas and Manuel V. Pangilinan-led telco giant PLDT Inc.The department, in a Dec. 2 order, also prohibited both parties 'from conducting a strike, lockout or any concerted activities,' PLDT told the stock exchange on Tuesday.The telco said the DOLE had stepped in following the expiration of a seven-day strike ban.
MKP said last Nov. 26 that the dispute with PLDT was at an impasse as the telco 'explicitly stated that it cannot match what it provided in the past CBA.'Pete Pinlac, MKP secretary general, told a press conference that under the previous CBA, P10,700 in wage hikes spread out over three years had been agreed upon, but PLDT was now only offering an increase of just P6,400.He warned that MKP would stage a nationwide strike this month as a last resort.
