Workers at Philippine Airlines have taken dramatic action in their struggle against outsourcing. On Tuesday morning at 7am workers at Manila Airport including check-in, baggage handling, towing and catering, occupied their work stations and refused to leave. All Philippine Airlines flights were cancelled.
Police and security had ejected the workers by Wednesday, but many hundreds continue their protest on airport grounds and are planning a mass protest for Friday 30 September, the day of their official termination. Watch a video of an airport protest here.
Philippine Airlines has resumed some flights from a different terminal. The workers’ union PALEA has called for industrial and financial support. Download the leaflet here.
