The labor group Partido
Manggagawa (PM) called on the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to
convene conferences between the airline industry and union or worker
representatives to formulate measures to preserve jobs. “Mass layoffs should be
the last resort of employers and government must pro-actively act to prevent
it. Unemployment is a real terror to workers than any threat from terrorist
groups,” asserted Rene Magtubo, PM national chair.
He added that “DOLE, hoy gising,
di pwedeng natutulog sa pansitan. DOLE cannot be a bystander looking at unemployment
figures rise and content with asking employers to report retrenchments—which is
what the agency is doing at the moment.”
PM is asking DOLE to
immediately hold labor-industry dialogues in the airlines industry and other
sectors where jobs are being shed. The group reports that factories in export
processing zones are preparing to permanently or temporarily lay off workers in
the next few weeks allegedly due to reduced orders from abroad. Expressway workers
are also on the chopping block as toll operations are transitioning to cashless
mode and will be fully automated.
“In these tripartite
dialogues, various measures can be tabled for agreement. For example, as the
economy is gradually opened then workers can return to work in batches and
those not reporting for work shall be put in a labor pool instead of being retrenched.
While in the labor pool, these workers shall receive aid from government and
employers. After six months, employers can then decide if these workers will be
retained or fired,” Magtubo explained.
The group also demands that government
formulate emergency employment measures and expand unemployment insurance
programs through tripartite dialogue. PM is appealing to Congress to revise the
proposed stimulus bill so that aid to business is conditional on a no layoff,
no endo commitment.
“MSME’s that will receive
support from government should retain workers and make them regular. Taxpayer’s
money should incentivize compliance with decent work and the new normal must be
built on inclusive growth. Workers first in the new normal,” Magtubo insisted.
