After the approval of the wage increase for Metro Manila minimum wage earners, eight other petitions are still being heard by the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards (RTWPBs).
There are at least eight petitions pending. The petitions range from P50 to P128.60 across-the-board (ATB) daily wage increase, and RTWPBs concerned are currently holding a series of sectoral consultations and public hearings on said petitions, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, in a news release, said.
The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), who filed for the P75 wage increase in Metro Manila, also filed for a P75 ATB increase in Region 4-A, Region 10, and Region 11; P50 ATB in Region 6 (together with the Philippine Integrated Industry) and Region 9; P65 ATB in Region 4-B; P60 ATB in Caraga; and P100 ATB in Region 7. The Alliance of Progressive Labor and the Shemberg Employees Independent Union, also filed a separate P128.60 ATB wage increase for Region 7.
The DOLE chief also said that the RTWPBs of Region 7 (Central Visayas) and Caraga Region are in the advanced stages of consultations and deliberations and are expected to issue their wage orders soon. The provinces of Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor comprise Central Visayas. The Caraga region, on the other hand, is composed of Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur, and the cities of Butuan, Surigao, Bislig, Cabadbaran and Tanda.
The other wage boards tackling the petition are CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Western Visayas (Aklan, Antique, Negros Occidental, Capiz, Guimaras and Iloilo), Eastern Visayas (Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern Samar, Samar and Southern Leyte), and SOCCSKSARGEN (South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City).
Last June 8, the National Capital Region (NCR) RTWPB issued Wage Order No. 15 granting a P22.00 daily wage hike to all NCR minimum wage earners in the private sector. The rules and regulations for the wage order were issued last June 29, 2010 and the wage increase took effect July 1, 2010.
The wage order sets the new minimum wage in the NCR at P404.00 per day for non-agricultural workers and P367.00 for workers in agriculture, private hospitals with bed capacity of 100 or less, retail/service establishments with 15 or less markers and manufacturing establishments with less than 10 workers.
As in previous wage orders, a one-year exemption may be granted to certain types of establishments, such as distressed establishments, retail/service establishments regularly employing not more than 10 workers, establishments whose total assets are not more than P3 million, and establishments adversely affected by natural calamities. Deadline for the filing of exemption to the wage increase is on September 15.
