With Labor Day fast approaching, labor groups wage increase of at least P55 in Metro manila.
Metro Manila Wage Board chief Alan Macaraya earlier announced that a decision on the group’s 85-peso wage increase petition will be released soon.
The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) spokesman Alan Tanjusay said they are both hoping and expecting the Board will issue a wage increase of P55 or more. Their original request was for P85 for minimum wage earners in Metro Manila. In their petition, the TUCP said a family of six in Metro Manila would need at least P1,200 a day to survive, the Journal reported.
