PALEA NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT TODAY
October 6, 2011
| For more than two years, the Philippine Airlines Employees’ Association (PALEA), the ground crew union of Philippines Airlines (PAL), has been fighting an outsourcing plan that will lay off 2,600 employees and downgrade them from regular to contractual workers. The dispute has now escalated with the forcible eviction and lock out of some 2,600 workers and dismissals as of 1 October.
PALEA is defiant and is calling on its brothers and sisters in the international labour movement for support and solidarity. Find out how you can support PALEA to continue their fight back and let the Philippines government know that PALEA is here to stay >> ACT NOW TO HELP US TO STEP UP THE PRESSURE by spreading the word – share the petition and the solidarity and protest emails via facebook, twitter and SMS. Be sure to email us at CivilAviation@itf.org.uk with news and pictures of your activities. Visit the “Save our PAL’S jobs” campaign site here >> In solidarity,
Gabriel Mocho Rodriguez Civil aviation section secretary |
