Attacks vs. Laguna workers heighten days away from Labor Day
By JUSTIN UMALI
CALAMBA CITY, Laguna – Labor unions in the Southern Tagalog region’s industrial zones are being threatened by state forces, according to reports from progressive labor centers.
Labor alliance Alyansa ng Manggagawa sa Probinsya ng Laguna (ALMAPILA) reported at least four incidents of unions and unionists being harassed over the past week.
On April 23, police officers entered the premises of automotive parts company Daiwa Seiko in Biñan, Laguna in an attempt to conduct a “seminar.” Union officers boycotted the seminar despite being specifically invited to the seminar.
