NAGKAISA to hold ‘Blank Paper’ Protest on Bonifacio Day
To highlight Marcos Jr.’s blank labor agenda
The NAGKAISA Labor Coalition is holding a ‘Blank Paper’
protest today, November 30, in commemoration of Andres Bonifacio’s 159th
birthday. The aim is to press for a Labor Agenda that remains blank or absent
in the Marcos administration.
WHEN: November 30, 2022
WHERE: Liwasang Bonifacio
TIME: 9:00 AM
The Labor Agenda includes demands for a wage hike, labor
rights and an end to contractualization; affordable and quality public
services; and mechanisms for a continuing policy dialogue on structural reforms.
The ‘Blank Paper’ protest is an adaptation of a popular
protest symbol in China against the ‘zero covid’ policy and censorship.
NAGKAISA is leading nationwide
protests with workers' mobilizations in Cebu and Bacolod, and an indoor
activity in Iloilo.
NAGKAISA shall afterwards join the broad labor under United
Labor together with Kilusang Mayo Uno and Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino in
a march to Mendiola.
