+ April 17, 2021 LABOR group Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) is preparing for a noise barrage on May 1, Labor Day, to condemn the poor condition of workers amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. Let us make some noise by clanging our pots and make the deaf administration of Duterte hear our cry for more assistance.
