The Philippines is one of many countries that uses export processing zones to create highly profitable areas for companies to operate in where union organising is suppressed. Currently, there is an ongoing dispute with NT Philippines, a large electronics firm in the Cavite Export Processing Zone that is refusing to recognise a union, and is actively trying to isolate its leaders. Meanwhile, at the nearby Taifini factory, documents have come out that outlined the anti-union actions by the management of the company. In another ongoing protest, close to a hundred workers were terminated by the C&F company in another union busting manoeuvre. The workers have formed a picket line camp to continue their struggle.
