MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippine Airlines Employees' Association has agreed to the Court of Appeals' offer to mediate its labor dispute with the flag carrier over the sacking of some 2,600 ground crew.
The union submitted a manifestation to the CA on Friday even as it called for a reinstatement of the laid off workers.
PALEA’s manifestation is in response to a CA resolution dated March 27 that asked management and the union if they were willing to have the dispute referred to the Court’s Philippine Mediation Center for “a final opportunity to explore the possibility of coming up with an amicable settlement of their dispute.”
Union president Gerry Rivera said they consider the CA’s offer “as an opening to end the labor row, which could not happened without the perseverance in protest by some 2,000 of our members for more than six months and in the face of three typhoons, two attacks on its campout and spending the Christmas holidays at the picket lines.”
The offer of mediation, he added, “further spurs us to continue the protest actions until we have finally won our demands.”
