18 Aug 2024 – NTUC Phl President Jhing Ogalinda stressed “Ganyan talaga ang patuloy na mangyayari [sa economy] dahil inde naman kasama ang ating workers and their families dyan. Inde inclusive ang Philippine economy. Paano makaaahon ang bansa kung patuloy na depressed ang real wages, at lalong lumalalim ang inequality.” In the blended NTUC Phl 6th anniversary celebrations on Aug 18, she said that slowed consumption caused by depressed real wages and inequality is holding down what the economy could be. While noting that NTUC Phl and its affiliates have resumed normal operations despite global uncertainties, President Jhing cited continuing Covid in 84 countries, conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and elsewhere, harsh demonstrations from climate change, among multiple crises.

10 and 24 Aug 2024 – Eleven participants (seven women, four men) started the 11-Saturday 3rd Cluster learning course (CLiCK 3) conducted by the NTUC Phl Leadership Institute (LEADNtI).

The in-person course takes place at the ObreNa Center in Quezon City. The teaching team, led by President Jhing Ogalinda, comes from NTUC Phl. Participating federations fully support the program and participants’ expenses. The pilot (online) CLiCK 1 program in 2023 graduated 18 leaders (out of 24 participants). CLiCk 2 produced six graduates (out of nine starters)..

31 July 2024 – Extreme heat, floods, high rice price despite imports. Ever-growing real GDP, but depressed real wages and earnings. Slow economic growth, brought in part by no sharing with workers of the real gains in production and productivity. These concerns are affecting safety and health in workplaces and communities. They are affecting even people’s mental health. Participants noted these challenges in the 2024 edition of the long-running series of the joint JILAF/NTUC Phl Seminars on Employment Security and Constructive Industrial Relations with the theme “Assuring Health and Safety for Workers and their Families in the Just Transitions” that took place against this backdrop of multiple challenges.
