PALEA / KANAMASU
Tomorrow Nov.1 is the official solemnity of All Saints then the next day is all souls day
wherein we celebrate the feast of the souls of our beloved ones. With this the
Kahugpungan sa Nagkahiusang Mamumuo sa Sugbo (KANAMASU) declares PALag PALag sa mga Mamumuo on November 1, 2011 as a symbol
of the death of the workers rights. KANAMASU strongly condemns the act of the
management of PAL that violently harass the PALEA picketers last October 29,
2011 that resulted to injuries of 4 of our comrades from PALEA.
“The labor dispute between PALEA and the PAL management with the
outmost favor of the state to the capitalist class the likes of Lucio Tan on
the outsourcing program of the PAL management is a blatant example of the death
of Workers Rights” explained by Tex
Bulambot, Board Member of PALEA.
“It has been one month from
October 1, 2011 that we stage our picket here at the Mactan Cebu International
Airport as a protest to the deliberate anti-worker policy of PAL management and
the PNOY regime, PALag means we are brave and hopeful that our struggle will
win because it is right and just.” Nick
Labrado another Board Member of PALEA.
“Amoang gikondinar ang bayolenteng pag disperse sa picket line sa among
mga kaubang mga mamumuo sa PALEA ngadto sa Manila miaging Octobre 29, 2011 nga
gibuhat sa mga goons ni Lucio Tan, nagpamatuod kini nga ang malinawon nga
panagtapuk sa mga mamumuo aron ipadayag ang mga makatarunganon nga mga yangungu
sugaton kini ug dahas nga mga pamaagi sa mga manlulupig aron makuha lamang ang
ilang tumong nga maka ginansya ug dako!“ giisturya ni Jordan Jainar sa Young Workers League and Kilusan para sa Pambansang Demokrasya.
Joe Tomongja of Alliance of Progressive Labor said we are committed to win the struggle of
PALEA, for it will be the blueprint to the other companies to drastically
attact our labor rights. PALag means to rage, and the struggle against
contractualization is necessary for the workers to PALag!
With these KANAMASU will conduct a press conference and condemnation activity on November 1, 2011 at 10:00
– 11:00 in the morning at the PALEA protest camp, Airport Rd., Mactan Cebu International
Airport, Lapu Lapu City. The activity will be participated by approximately 100 worker
leaders under the banner of KANAMASU.
