A THOUSAND workers are being retrenched by four garment factories in the Mactan Export Processing Zone in Cebu, the Partido ng Manggagawa or Workers’ Party labor group said yesterday.
Metroware, Mactan Apparel, Fedder Apparel and Global had sent notices to several workers and were already paying separation pay to the first few batches, the group said in a statement.
It could not be confirmed if, indeed, 1,000 workers were being laid off in the export processing zone.
The group said one of those laid off was Jose Pelino Jr., its leader in Metroware, and that Pelino had accused the company of illegal dismissal because he was retrenched for his efforts to organize his fellow workers.
Pelino went to the Labor Department’s office in Cebu yesterday to complain, the group said. –Manila Standard Today
