For the past 18 months, members of the Philippine Airlines Employees Association have been on the front line of the global battle against outsourcing. On 27 September 2011, over 2,000 ground staff were evicted from Manila International Airport. Workers were protesting against a management outsourcing scheme that would have stripped their wages by half, and destroyed their conditions. There has been a continuous protest camp and regular protests since that time, with over 700 workers still continuing the struggle.
