Dismantle the NTF-ELCAC!

Around 100 activists protested in Quezon City on December 4 to call for the dismantling of the NTF-ELCAC and the realignment of its budget to social services. Its budget is not only used for red-tagging, but is also used as a milking cow by the regime’s generals and anti-communist propagandists. They asserted that the budget would be put to better use if utilized to aid people, buy vaccines, or subsidize students who are experiencing difficulties under the online and blended learning system.

Nexperia workers’ CBA approved

Nexperia workers’ successfully asserted their demands as stipulated in their collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the company management. Among the benefits they will receive are the ret­roactive pay for workers for the six-month lockdown period, as well as a wage increase this coming 2021.
Workers attributed this victory to their successive protests, including a silent protest on November 24 to defend their jobs and demand for protection amid the pandemic.
