THE National Capital Region Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board has rejected the petition of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines for a wage hike in Metro Manila amid the prevailing fuel crisis brought about by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“Therefore, the Board resolves that the across-the-board wage petition filed by the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines cannot be given due course,” the RTWPB-NCR said in a resolution dated March 22, 2022. “That there is a compelling need to bridge the huge gap. The current minimum daily wage of P537 can only accord workers and their families ‘nutritionally deficient survival meals,’ which if continuously unaddressed by an army of undernourished Filipino workers will have greater repercussions in the future of the country and of the economy,” the petition read.
