More than 2000 workers at Philippine Airlines have been locked out and then sacked, in a major,
Qantas-style labour dispute about outsourcing.

Since September 27 the sacked workers' protest camp at Manila airport has survived three
typhoons, two attacks by armed goons, and innumerable dirty tricks from Philippine Airlines
management. But with support from the Philippines labour movement, and growing solidarity around
the world, the workers are continuing their front line battle for regular jobs.

Alnem Pretencio, the Vice President of the Philippine Airlines Employees Association, has been
visiting Melbourne to build support for the workers’ struggle. Join Alnem on the last day of his visit
as we deliver a letter of protest to the Philippines Consulate in Melbourne.
