+ February 10, 2021 A LABOR leader in Negros Occidental is calling on the government to protect the real wages from falling through one, provision of necessary wage increase to the workers.
Wennie Sancho, secretary general of General Alliance of Workers Associations (Gawa), said wage is the price of labor in the production of goods and services.
Sancho, also the labor representative to the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) in Western Visayas, said it is the remuneration for all forms of human endeavors.
January 31, 2021 THE labor sector may push through with its plan to file a petition for a daily salary increase amounting to P50 to P100 for minimum wage workers in Western Visayas.
Wennie Sancho, labor representative to the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) in Western Visayas, said the Board has failed to act on their earlier manifestation for a Pandemic Emergency Relief Allowance (Pera) amounting to P25 per day.
Sancho said they manifested such a move in November last year but until now the Wage Board has still been waiting for the requirements from the management including the number of personnel dismissed, those who have returned to work, and establishments closed and reopened, among others.
