The National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) may release its decision regarding the wage increase petition for Metro Manila workers filed by a local labor group last March.
According to Ms. Patricia Hornilla, NWPC Deputy Executive Director, the Metro Manila wage board is expected to come up with a decision regarding the wage petition filed by the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) within the coming days. Reports also state that the wage board was expected to grant the increase for minimum wage earners by the end of May, which may amount to P20.00 to P25.00 per day. As of press time, there is no word from the other 17 Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards on their decision regarding the wage increase petition for their respected areas.
Last March 1, the labor group requested for a P75.00 across-the-board wage increase for workers in NCR and Mindanao and P100.00 for Visayas.
However, TUCP Secretary Ernesto Herrera questioned the delay in granting the wage increase. In an interview over DWIZ 882 kHz, he said that Metro Manila workers are in dire need of the wage hike as school is about to start to cope up with the rising cost of education.
In previous reports, employers and some representatives from the business sector are against wage increase petition, arguing that they have just recovered from the global economic downturn. The Department of Labor and Employment, on the other hand, said that the Commission must find a balance between the position and arguments of the employers and employees.
