“Sa mga manggagawa sa labas ng Metro Manila, patuloy po natin kalampagin ang regional wage boards para gawing makabuluhan ang dagdag-sahod sa bawat rehiyon,” Adonis urged workers.Meanwhile, KNM spokesperson Julie Ann Gutierrez said it appears BBM — or the initials of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. — has a new meaning – binarat , binalewala ang manggagawa .“Isang taon na nagpanawagan ng dagdag-sahod ang mga manggagawa,” she recalled.
“Nagsampa kami ng petisyon. Inaral namin. Nakipagtalakayan at konsultahan. Tapos, basta-basta na lang di tutugunan ang aming hinaing?” Gutierrez lamented.
