Several labor groups will stage a protest march on Saturday to call for a P150-wage hike, as well as an end to endo .
Members of the Nagkaisa Labor Coalition, Kilusang Mayo Uno, and Sentro ng mga Nagkakaisa at Progresibong Manggagawa reiterated their demand for a legislated wage hike of P150 or more.They likewise demanded the abolition of provincial rates and endo in both private and public sectors to help workers cope with inflation and the intensifying cost of living crisis.
The labor groups also expressed frustration over the lack of government attention to pressing issues, saying the Labor Committee in Congress has stopped deliberating on the matter since May while senators did not pass the P100-wage hike bill. “Workers are tired of being shortchanged by regional wage boards while Congress and Malacañang remain silent on their struggles,” the coalition said.
They emphasized the compounding effects of recent typhoons, which have devastated communities nationwide. Many workers, already struggling with low wages, reported being unprepared to recover from these disasters.
