The issuance of the implementing rules and regulations for the “rightsizing” of Duty Free Philippines Corp. without consultation from its labor union has sparked concerns that it will result in “mass labor displacement.”
“The President has the authority to stop this ill-prepared plan as he has the power to do so under Section 5 [a] [6] [i] of Republic Act 10149, also known as the GOCC [Government-Owned and Controlled Corporation] Governance Act of 2011,” FFW said in a statement issued last Sunday. FFW made the pronouncement after the DFPC management released the IRR for the rightsizing plan last Thursday.
“We were informed that the management of Duty-Free Philippines has already adopted an implementing rules for the reorganization without the union or employees participation and without waiting for the resolution of our motion for reconsideration before the Governance Commission for GOCC—this is preposterous,” said UWDFP-FFW President Ernesto Mangalindan.
