MANILA, Philippines — Labor groups on Thursday denounced the filing of another petition suspending the implementation of the P85 minimum wage hike in the National Capital Region (NCR), this time before the Navotas City Regional Trial Court (RTC).
In a statement, representatives of the Federation of Free Workers (FFW) and Nagkaisa Labor Coalition said they filed a motion for leave to intervene alongside 11 other labor groups in response to the petition filed by the Alliance of Philippine Fishing Federations Inc. (APFFI).
“This case is not merely about legal procedure. It is about protecting the wages and livelihoods of millions of workers whose voices deserve to be heard before any court decides their fate,” said FFW president Sonny Matula.
