The Department of Labor and Employment stressed that the planned outsourcing of the services of Philippine Airline’s ground crew will not render the 2, 600 employees jobless.
DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said that the employees involved in PAL’s non-core activities such as cargo handling, in-flight catering, and call center reservations operations will all be granted employment and hefty transition benefits.
The decision, in declaring valid the termination of the covered rank-and-file employees, established two parameters under the CBA: (1) the exercise of the management prerogative was done in a just, reasonable, humane, and lawful manner; and (2) the observance of the 45-day consultation period, required in the CBA, before implementing the reorganization.
In a statement, Sec. Baldoz said that the just and humane exercise of the management prerogative to close and outsource the services is reflected in the improved transition benefits that will be granted all affected employees which, she explained in the decision, are “over and above the benefits granted in the original decision and even under existing laws”.
The DOLE affirmed the original decision to specifically provide the employees a one-year guarantee of entry point salaries with the service providers.
The terminated employees shall be absorbed by their respective service providers, and PAL shall guarantee payment of their salaries for a period of at least one year from the time of their separation from employment as the original decision provided.
The said employees shall be absorbed by SkyKitchen Phil. Inc. (catering), SkyLogistics Phil. Inc. (airport services) and ePLDT Ventus, a PLDT subsidiary (call center), according to the decision.
Aside from being transferred, these employees will receive standard and additional benefits such as vacation leave, sick leave, extended medical and hospitalization package, gratuity of P50, 000.00 and trip passes.
The Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA), however, is against the decision of the Labor department, saying that this will actually meant “death of job security at Philippine Airlines”.
PALEA President Gerry Rivera said “PALEA “The order is not a win-win solution that balances the interest of workers for job security and management for financial viability.”
