To observe Decent Work Day and dare pols on wages
& jobs:
Workers to march along Ayala Ave
WHAT: March by hundreds of workers under the Nagkaisa
labor coalition
WHEN: Today, October 7, 2015; Assembly 3 pm, March 4 pm
WHERE: Assembly @ Makati Fire Station, March along Ayala Ave.
DETAILS: Both to commemorate the global day of decent work and
to challenge national candidates on the urgent issues of wage hikes and regular
jobs, several hundred members of labor groups under the coalition Nagkaisa will
march on Ayala Ave.
Among those marching are
contingents from Partido Manggagawa (PM) and PALEA which has launched renewed
protests as a result of another mass layoff at Philippine Airlines.
Today's global day for decent
work is organized annually by the International Trade Union
Confederation and has a theme of “End Corporate Greed” for this year. The call
for decent work is given a local flavour by recent survey that the most urgent
concerns of Filipino voters are the erosion of wages due to inflation and the
generation of regular jobs.
“Enough of motherhood
statements and hollow slogans. We dare the presidential candidates to spell out
concrete steps in their platforms on addressing the issue of wages and jobs,”
insist Rene Magtubo, PM chairperson. ###
