The Kapatiran ng mga Unyon at Samahang Manggagawa and Partido Manggagawa filed separate petitions for wage recovery before the National Capital Region Wage Board on Tuesday.
The salary hike, together with reforms in the country’s wage rationalization law, was part of the Five-Point Labor Agenda being pushed by Nagkaisa, a coalition to which PM is affiliated.Other agendas under Nagkaisa’s platform include a public employment program, an end to “endo” , trade union repression both in the private and public sectors, and mechanisms for continuing dialogue to discuss the industry and structural reforms.
PM supported the Kapatiran petition for a wage hike and argued that even without runaway inflation, workers deserve a fair share of economic growth and rising productivity.
