DOLE to mediate today biggest strike yet
The DOLE-NCMB is calling for a mediation meeting this afternoon
between the management and union of Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco as the
biggest strike to date entered its fourth day.
The mediation meeting is set for 2:00 pm today at Intramuros.
The Marikina factory of the leading cigarette firm remains
paralyzed since workers walked off the job in the middle of the shift last
Friday night. Picketlines have also been set up in the Vigan, Ilocos Sur redrying
plant.
The union called on management to refrain for attempting to bring in
scabs to operate the factory in order to avert any untoward incident. The union
has received information that scabs will be brought to the factory in vans today.
Workers unrest is rising with a series of labor strikes in recent
months and the Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco strike is the biggest yet.
