Government commission urged to uphold Clark workers’ rights

CLARK FREEPORT— Beleaguered union groups under the state-owned firm in Clark have come up with a joint manifesto of solidarity in urging a government commission to uphold the Constitutional and labor rights of government employees inside the former US military facility.
The groups coming out of a common manifesto stemmed from the letter of Governance Commission on GOCC (GCG) Chair Cesar Villanueva to Clark Development Corporation Chair and OIC Eduardo Oban, Jr. stating that “the Commission formally informs CDC that with the Issuance of EO7 (executive order no. 7) and pursuant to the enactment of Republic Act 10149, CBAs between employees and GOCC employers may no longer be negotiated.”
In their manifesto, the government workers at Clark Freeport Zone, led by the Association of CDC Supervisory Personnel (ACSP), Samahan ng mga Manggagawa DMIA (SMD) and Association of Concerned CDC Employees (ACCES) said they are one in pursuing five common issues affecting state workers in Clark.
The manifesto stated that there should be: first, respect to the right to self-organization and freedom of association and the existence of unions in GOCCs; second, implementation of the signed CBA agreements of unions with their respective government agency as prescribed by the Philippine Constitution and Labor Code of the Philippines; third, the upholding of the rights of the GOCC workers on the issue on Personal Economic Relief Assistance; fourth, on the issue of wages and benefits of GOCC workers; and, fifth, the implementation of the judicious use of government funds coming from the GOCCs.
The Sept. 27 letter of Villanueva to Oban “is not only addressed to CDC, but to all unions who are under GOCCs,” the workers cried.
The letter of Villanueva came out after the agreement of ACSP and CDC Management to seek for a voluntary arbitration following the non-implementation of concluded CBA negotiations on March 2012.
The agreement for voluntary arbitration came after the ACSP, supervisory union of CDC, filed unfair labor practice case against CDC for the non-implementation of the CBA despite the approval of the CDC Board of Directors, wherein Villanueva was then the presiding CDC Chairman.
The union groups in Clark believed that the GCG should respect the right of workers to organize as enshrined in the Philippine Constitution.
They also believe that Villanueva should also uphold the rights of labor groups as specified in the Labor Code of the Philippines.
The union groups believe that Republic Act 10149 (GOCC Governance Act of 2011) has become more powerful than the Labor Code (Articles 242, 244, and 246) in which enshrined the employees’ right to collective bargaining, adding that “it effectively abolished this right as all salaries, incentives, and benefits of GOCC employees can now be dictated by a single super power commission.”
Villanueva also said in his letter to Oban that “it should be clear that under the regime set under RA 10149, GOCCs, whether chartered or non-chartered, are without authority to set their own compensation frameworks, nor are their Governing Boards are authorized to enter into collective bargaining negotiations or be bound to arbitration proceedings that would set the compensation framework outside of the Compensation an Position Classification System (CPCS) that is being developed by the Commission for final approval of the President.”
Presently, there are two CBA that have yet to be implemented: the agreement between the rank and file union of CIAC and the CBA of the supervisory group of CDC, which was the subject of Villanueva’s letter.
Early next year, ACCES members are set to negotiate with the CDC management the new life of their CBA after its five year contract ends.
But, with the present situation with CIAC’s SMD and CDC’s ACSP, CDC’s rank and file union might suffer the same fate because of the prohibition being stated by Villanueva as stated in RA 10149 and EO7.
