The Workers’ Party Philippines (WPP) is in active negotiations with several political parties to form a coalition for the upcoming 2025 elections. As a party focused on improving the rights and conditions of workers, expanding the middle class, and advocating for key labor reforms, the WPP recognizes that collaboration is essential to achieving its goals for the common good. At the Party convention yesterday, Atty. Sonny Matula, head of the Federation of Free Workers (FFW), was elected WPP President. The Party also announced his senatorial bid. “We don’t look at ourselves as Supermen or Superwomen,” said WPP President Atty. Sonny…
J&T Express Workers went on strike in Cabuyao last year. They triumph in securing a new Collective Bargaining Agreement last Friday. “Mga manggagawang lugmok sa problema sa lugar ng trabaho ay madalas humahanap ng ginhawa sa pagpuputak sa kanilang hinaing sa labas o pakikidalamhati sa sikreto sa kanilang mga kasamahan; subalit, yung mga manggagawang may positibong pananaw ay nagpasyang bumuo o sumali sa isang unyon upang harapin ang kanilang mga suliraning may kinalaman sa trabaho,” said Ferdinand Cusi, acting Union President of the United Rank-and-File Employees of J&T Express Union-FFW. “Ito ang kuwento ng mga manggagawa ng J&T Express na,…
Ang Federation of Free Workers (FFW) ay buo ang pagsuporta at kaisa ng Sambayanang Pilipino sa pag-alala at pagdiriwang ng kabayanihan ng dating Senador Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. sa ika-40 taon anibersaryo ng kanyang masaklap na pagkamatay. Sa araw na ito noong 1983, bumalik si Ninoy sa Maynila matapos ang tatlong taong pagpapa-exile sa Estados Unidos, ngunit sinalubong siya ng masaklap na kapalaran na mag-iiwan ng malalim na bakas sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa. Ang kanyang katapangan, determinasyon, at pagtatalaga sa di-karahasan at mga demokratikong halaga ay ginawa siyang personipikasyon ng pagtutol sa diktadurya ni dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Sr.…
Ang Federation of Free Workers (FFW), isa sa mga pinakakilala at matatagal na labor federation sa Pilipinas, ay nagtutulak para sa makabuluhang pagtaas ng sahod para sa mga propesyonal sa kalusugan at mga manggagawa sa buong bansa habang nagbubukas ang Kongreso ng kanyang sesyon. Iminumungkahi ng FFW ang P65,000 na buwanang sahod sa unang antas para sa mga nurse sa parehong pampubliko at pribadong sector, kasabay ng P150 na taas-arawang sahod para sa lahat ng mga manggagawa. Sa nakaraan, hinikayat ng FFW ang Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan na agad na aprubahan ang isang panukalang batas, na inihain ni Quezon City…
“Usurpation of Authority” ba ang gagawing Imbestigasyon ng mga Imbestigador ng ICC? O Baka Naman Magmukhang “Mga Kasabwat Pagkatapos ng Krimen” ang mga Opisyal Natin sa Gobyerno? Maski na tayo po ay may pagrespeto, malakas po ang ating di-pagsang-ayon sa mga kamakailang pahayag ng Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Senior Undersecretary, na nagmumungkahi na ang mga imbestigador ng International Criminal Court (ICC) ay maaaring harapin ang mga paratang ng “usurpation of authority” kung silay papasok sa Pilipinas. oOo Kamakailan, iminungkahi ni Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra na maaaring lumikha ang gobyerno ng isang “independenteng komisyon” para imbestigahan ang libu-libong pagpatay sa drug…
The Federation of Free Workers (FFW), one of major labor centers in the country, is deeply honored and profoundly grateful to be included among those in the Philippine labor movement recognized as recipient of the esteemed George Meany–Lane Kirkland Human Rights Award from the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). The 2023 recipient is the Philippine labor movement. This award, given annually, recognizes dedication to and effectiveness in highlighting the widespread denial of fundamental human rights at work and in society. The Philippine labor movement which FFW is a part is humbled to be acknowledged for…
MANILA – The Federation of Free Workers (FFW) commends Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa for his prompt action following the State of the Nation Address (SONA), where the commitment to expedite the disbursement of health emergency allowance (HEA) to front-line health workers was emphasized. Under Republic Act No. 11712, health care workers (HCWs) are entitled to a monthly HEA equivalent to P3,000 for those working in low-risk areas, P6,000 for those in moderate-risk areas, and P9,000 for medical front-liners in high-risk places. HCWs are supposed to receive these benefits for the duration of the state of calamity attributed to the COVID-19…
Ang Federation of Free Workers (FFW) ay maliwanag na nagsasabing hindi tayo dapat bumalik sa “batas ng gubat” o sa “batas ng mga pirata” sa ating karagatan, lalo na ngayon na may patuloy na agawan ng teritoryo sa West Philippine Sea. Matatag nating sinusupportahan ang resolusyong ipinanukala ng Senado ni Senadora Risa Hontiveros, na tumutuligsa sa hindi pagsunod ng China sa isang award mula sa arbitral tribunal noong 2012, at tayo’y nanawagan sa Senado na agad itong maipasa. oOo Mula sa Davao City… “Matibay naming pinanghahawakan na ang prinsipyo ng rule of law ay dapat manaig sa batas ng gubat,…
The Nagkaisa labor coalition declared to continue pushing for the labor agenda despite zero mention of wage hike, contractualization, public employment program, and ending trade union repression in the second State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Marcos, Jr. President Marcos bragged about solving the inflation problem as his main accomplishment but the reality of high prices of basic goods and services remain. Tinimbang namin ang pahayag ng Pangulo tungkol dito subalit iba ang sinasabi ng totoong timbangan sa mga palengke. The real value of the new minimum wage of P610 (from P570) in NCR stayed at P515, meaning…
Kasama ang Federation of Free Workers sa hanay ng Nagkaisa Labor Coalition. Dala natin ang agenda para sa sahod, trabaho at karapatan. Kasama rin natin ang United Workers of Duty Free Philippines at ang ilang mga kasapi nito upang isigaw na itigil na ang tanggalan ng mga empledong gobyerno sa Duty Free Philippines. Sana marinig ni President Marcos, Jr. oOo As we listened to Marcos there is no worker-related bill included in the priority legislations. No wage increase, no end to contractualization, no upholding the right to unionize! The focus is purely on new taxes, new sources of revenue, new…
