MY Daily UT Weblog

One after another the dirty-tricks emerge revealing Union Tribune's ruthless campaign against workers' rights.When UT employees attempt to stand up for themselves and try to form a union, we face threats, propaganda, discrimination, intimidation, harassment and even firings.It's wrong, and it's got to stop now!!! AND IT IS AGAINST THE LAW!!!

Re-Classification, Exploitation, the next Negotiation & a Message to my Kababayans

Although I had a little talked with Oscar Feliciano (re-classified as partime packager I) yesterday, I had an information from Steve O. that a lot of my co-workers who were demoted and had their pay cut on their salaries are still doing the same job as before. This is very clear that the company wants to exploit their hardworking people and it is very unfair, inhuman and unsconstitutional. Steve O. advised Oscar F. not to say no if they assigned him again as a line monitor (a job for packager II) and will use this as a proof against them for their unfair labor practice. So I hope everybody should be aware of this dirty tricks. Let's use it against them. As we always say " Everything is a trap!" Don't be a victim! ' cuz we are not stupid!
Here is a message to all my filipino friends proudly tell them "Pilipino Ako, 'Di Nabibili Ang Puso Ko! Wala tayong utang na loob sa kanila at ginagamit lang tayo sa sariling kapakanan nila!" We are not liabilities but we are an assets to them!
And before we left home yesterday I also knew from them (Ken & Steve)that the next 2 days negotiation will be on September 20 & 21(Wednesday & Thursday). It is really nice to be with these guys for I keep myself well informed about the union activities. But because we don't have any bulletin board at work a lot my co-workers feel that they are being neglected by the union. Well, this his is not true. All of our union-representives are doing a great job to get us a good contract all they need is our support. We need solidarity, for in the union there is power and solidarity there is power!!!
Lastly any changes or updated activities of our union will be posted here with a reliable source. Good luck guys!!!(Dwight W. "a.k.a Sinbad", Benny T., Steve O., Lynn H. & Ken H.)
