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.
