Labor union groups on Friday called for the protection of life before profit and politics in the midst of the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Associated Labor Unions (ALU) and global union Building and Wood Workers International (BWI) in a joint statement called for the end of violence and harassment which “have worsened” during the pandemic.
As the 18 days of Activism in the Philippines ends on December 12, ALU Vice President and Women’s Committee Chair Eva Arcos stated that “the call and response to end violence on account of social justice, sex, and unionism should be every day, not occasional, until there is no more need for them.”
