Long-time secretary general Ernesto Herrera of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines was formally expelled from the labor group, the TUCP said Tuesday.

The TUCP executive board, headed by president Democrito Mendoza, passed a resolution on March 7 ousting Herrera and two affiliate member organizations – the Alyansa ng Manggagawang Pilipinong Organisado (Amapo) and the Philippine Federation of Labor – for violating article VIII, section 4, of the TUCP constitution which refers to betrayal, dishonesty and acts inimical to the interest of the group.

The resolution was concurred in by the TUCP general council on the same day, making it final and closed to appeal.
