[Statement] PLDT/DIGITEL Management… Untouchable? -DEU

PLDT/DIGITEL Management… Untouchable?

DSC01955After continuously defying and snubbing the Supreme Court’s decision (G.R.No. 184903-04, January 21, 2013) and Department of Labor and Employment’s order (Writ of Execution, March 19, 2013) to commence Collective Bargaining Agreement and Back to Work in favor of Digitel Employees Union (DEU), the PLDT/DIGITEL Management filed a case versus DEU, last April 16, for illegal occupancy and trespassing, summons were served the following day, and last Friday, the 19th, a hearing was set at Makati RTC branch 65.

But before any decision or order was issued by Makati Court 65, the management has decided on its own to take action against the DEU’s Picket and Hunger Strike area according to Ramon Alphonsus Morato, Asset Protection Specialist of PLDT.

April 21, Sunday, at around 3AM, more than a hundred (100+) security guards, fully-armed with shields and truncheons, coming from the left side and right side of the RC building, while making a noise by thumping and pounding their shields, ran and rushed toward the DEU Protest Center cordoning the area.

The DIGITEL employees, including the three (3) hunger strikers, namely: Alan Licardo, Arly Montecastro and Jesse Furaque, were driven out of the area toward the streets of Ayala. Morato, who headed the dispersal team, gave the DEU members two (2) minutes to call anyone who could help them regarding the demolition and after which he ordered his security guards to dismantle and demolish the make-shift tent of the hunger strikers. Behind the shoulder-to-shoulder formation of the dispersal team, banners and flags were brought down, some tarpaulins and placards were torn, some belongings of the picketers were scattered, and a perimeter fence was put up in front of the PLDT office occupying part of the sidewalk.

Is the PLDT/DIGITEL management has its OWN LAW outside of the Philippines’ Law? The peaceful protest staged by the DEU started April 10 and the hunger strikes started April 16, it has been two weeks now and counting, but still the management keeps on defying the SC decision and DOLE order. And add to that the case they filed versus DEU at Makati RTC, why did they acted on their own ahead of Makati Court branch 65’s decision came out?

What makes them untouchable? Where is the proper enforcement and implementation of the decisions and orders of our Government Offices?

Respect the law; don’t make a mockery of our law. Or else, SHAME ON YOU!!!

[Press Release] Stand firm, repel the workers bully!!! -DEU

 

Stand firm, repel the workers bully!!!

 

DEU copyBehold, in front of you are the gallant men and women of Digitel Employees Union (DEU). In its fight against PLDT’s Corporate GREED. Their scheme of Closure via REDUNDANCY is a clear union busting and to promote CONTRACTUALIZATION. They are pushing their scheme even if it’s against the LAW.

Last March 15, 2013, more than four hundred (400) regular employees of DIGITEL have been terminated via the Redundancy Program of PLDT/DIGITEL Management. Almost 80% regular employees availed the program where they are paid 190% of their number of years in service. Almost all of these redundant employees were offered jobs as contractual under SERVEFLEX and PEOPLESERVE, with the same salary, same position, same job description and same work location. HOW CAN THIS BE REDUNDANCY?!!! A clear violation and act of Illegal Dismissal.

For nine (9) years of DEU struggles, we abide by all the rules of LAW. DEU WON ALL THE LEGAL BATTLES!!!

With all these LEGAL matters in place, why is it that JUSTICE is still not enforced? Why is it that JUSTICE is still out of reach? IS PLDT/DIGITEL ABOVE THE LAW? Why is it that this company continue to defy all the Decisions of the Philippines’ Government Offices?

Last March 22, 2013 a manifestation was issued by PLDT/DIGITEL Management in answer to the WRIT OF EXECUTION issued by DOLE, stating that DIGITEL is no longer in a position to commence Collective Bargaining Negotiations with the DEU because the Company has been integrated with PLDT and all of its employees have already been terminated via Redundancy Program.

Last April 10, 2013 because of continuous defiance of PLDT/DIGITEL Management to the Rule of LAW, DEU started a Peaceful Protest Rally in front of PLDT Main Office at RC Building, Ayala, Makati, and a HUNGER STRIKE followed last April 16 until now. But our presence caused them “IRRITATION” and “SHAME”. They even covered the Picket Line with a shuttle bus and tall security guards and desperately made a move to drive us out of PLDT premises.

Last April 16, 2013 a case was filed at Makati RTC by PLDT/DIGITEL Management to DEU for allegedly violated Illegal Occupancy and Trespassing at the property of PLDT in a premise that PLDT and DIGITEL is a separate entity a clear conflict to what they said earlier that PLDT-DIGITEL has been integrated.

Last April 19, 2013 at 3:00 AM the PLDT Management with the help of more than 100 PLDT Security guards dismantled our Protest Center and acting by itself without the Order and result of the Makati RTC decision. A CLEAR DISRESPECT OF THE LAW!!! Where are we going to seek JUSTICE if these Powerful and Rich Company does not abide by our Laws? Let’s bring HOPE to our Society, for the sake of our children’s career and future. Join the fight, join the cause!!!

[Statement] Pahayag ng Digitel Employees Union (DEU)

Pahayag ng Digitel Employees Union (DEU)

DSCN1175

Ayaw namin sa ERP-Rehire, lalong AYAW namin sa SARA-Tanggal!
Integrate and ABSORB Digitel employees – YES!
… at pasimulan ang CBA nego – Ito ang aming GUSTO! Now na!!

Pebrero 2013, wala pang isang taon matapos mabili ng PLDT ang Digitel, ini anunsyo ng PLDT ang pagsasara ng Digitel upang isanib ang operasyon nito sa PLDT! Ang mga empleyado ng Digitel ay pinag a avail ng Voluntary Retirement Program (VRP) Early Retirement Program (ERP) bilang kondisyon para mabayaran ng 190-250% separation pay at may prayoridad daw na ma “re-hire”. Ang di mag a avail ay i- re redundant at ang bayad sa separation pay na ayon na lang sa isinasaad ng batas.

Pagsasara at pagtatanggal upang palitan ang mga regular na manggagawa ng kontraktwal, mula sa dating tuwirang empleyado ay itatalaga at o mula sa outsourcing o manpower agencies. Labag ito sa karapatan ng mga manggagawa na ginagarantiyahan ng batas . Labag din ito sa DESISYON/ RESOLUSYON ng Korte Suprema . Salungat din ito maging sa batas ng korporasyon , na nagsasabing mananagutan sa mga empleyado ng biniling kumpanya ang bumiling kompanya.

Trabaho hindi bayad o mag VRP/ERP. Bakit ba kailangan pang mag VRP/ERP bago i re-hire ng PLDT? Bakit tatanggalin ang mga manggagawang gusto pang manatili sa trabaho para palitan ng mga (dating) manggagagawa ng outsourcing company.

Mga kaganapan bago ang pagbili ng PLDT sa Digitel.

Bago ang pagbili ng PLDT sa Digitel – sunod sunod ang pagkatalo ng Digitel manedsment sa mga kasong isinampa ng Digitel Employees Union (DEU) sa DOLE, NLRC, Court of Appeal hanggang Supreme Court. Sa ganitong kondisyon umentra ang PLDT para “bilihin” ang Digitel kapalit ng 12% shareholding sa PLDT Holding pabor sa DJ Summit Holdings na siya ring may-ari ng Digitel na pag-aari din ni John Gokongwei.

Matapos ang “bilihan” / shareholdings swapping, hindi nagpatumpik tumpik ang PLDT – ipinagpatuloy nito ang Voluntary Resignation Program (VRP) /Early Retirement Program (ERP) na napasimulan na ng Digitel. Nauna dito ang serye ng Mass Lay off – una ay noong Marso 2005, sinundan noong taong 2007, 2008 upang makaiwas daw sa pagkalugi. Mass Lay off naman noong 2010, dahil umano sa restructuring program ng Digitel. Hanggang maganap ang “bentahan” noong taong 2011, ang kakatwa walang taon sa panahong nagtanggal na nalugi ang Digitel. Samantala matapos “ibenta” / sharewap ay nakakuha ng P1Billion na dibedendo sa PLDT si Gokongwei na may ari ng Digitel noong huling kwarto ng taong 2012 na di pa nangyari sa kasaysayan ng Digitel.

Oktubre 8, 2012, sa wakas bumaba na ang DESISYON ng Supreme Court – inayunan nito ang mga naunang DESISYON ng DOLE Secretary, NLRC at Court of Appeal na nagsasabing;

1. For Digitel to Commence CBA negotiation with the union. The pendency of a petition for cancellation of union registration does not preclude collective bargaining.
2. Affected workers be reinstated and with full pay full back wages for –
Digiserv is a labor-only contractor and or just one department of Digitel thus; affected workers due to its closure were illegally dismissed,
3. Pay each affected employees P10,000 moral damages and P5,000 exemplary damages for finding DIGITEL guilty of Unfair Labor Practice for – closure of Digiserve and replace it with I-tech andl dismissal of affected employees mostly union members and officers is illegal and done in bad faith; also violation of the Assumption Jurisdiction Order, .

Sa halip na ipatupad ang DESISYON – na makipagnegosasyon sa unyon at ibalik ang mga apektado/tinanggal na empleyado, tuwirang sinalungat ng Digitel/PLDT ang Kautusan ng Korte Suprema at Writ of Execution ng DOLE Secretary. Ikinatwiran ng Digitel/PLDT wala ng dahilan para makipagnegosasyon pa siya dahil wala ng manggagagawa ang DIGITEL.

Paninindigan ng mga manggagawa ng Digitel – una; i absorb ng PLDT ang mga empleyado ng Digitel at pasimulan na ang CBA negotiation. ikalawa; kung ini-integrate ang operayon ng Digitel sa PLDT, dapat I absorb ang mga empleyado, pangatlo; gusto pa nilang patuloy na magtrabaho at hindi sila nag avail ng ERP/Redundancy, pang-apat; hindi naman totoong nawala ang trabaho na ginagampanan ng mga tinatanggal bagkus pinalitan lamang sila ng kontraktwal.

Pagsusuri ng DEU; Voluntary o Early Retirement, Clossure at integration ng operation- maniobra at palusot para iwasan ang DESISYON ng Korte – kasi po kapag kusang nagresign o nag avail ng early retirement … tapos na ang kwento ng mga nagawang paglabag sa batas o pagyurak sa karapatan ng mga manggagawa (ULP). Ang closure integration naman ay iskema para lusawin ang Unyon at palitan ng kontraktwal ang mga regular na empleyado ng Digitel.

Ang pinakahuli ay ang lantarang pagsuway sa DESISYON at KAUTUSAN ng Korte Suprema at Writ of Execution na ipinag uutos ng Secretary of Labor.

Batid naming mabigat ang labang ito sa dalawang dambuhalang kompanya – DIGITEL at PLDT ! Kung kaya kami po ay umaapela sa kapwa namin kamanggagawa at sa mamamayan na kami ay inyong tulungan at samahan sa labang ito.

Retire/Resign – REHIRE, No Way!!!
Pagsasara at Digitel Integration of operation sa PLDT,
Pwede basta mga empleyado isama sa integration at ‘di redundancy!
Tama na ang mga palusot at maniobra !
DEU kilalanin na, CBA Negotiation simulan na, Now na !

[Appeal] Support DIGITEL workers’ rights!

DSC01957

Dear fellow workers and Concerned Citizens,

We, the surviving Digitel employees are now embattled with latest move of DIGITEL /PLDT for “permanent closure”, allegedly due to the integration with PLDT. Notices of Redundancy with different dates were served to employees referring to management bulletin dated February 07, 2013 , just two weeks after issuance of the final Supreme Court decision dated January 21, 2013. The Decision affirmed the DOLE Secretary and the National Labor Relations Commission’s 2006 as follows;

1. For Digitel to Commence CBA negotiation with the union. The pendency of a petition for cancellation of union registration does not preclude collective bargaining.
2. Affected workers be reinstated and with full pay full back wages for –
Digiserv is a labor-only contractor and or just one department of Digitel thus; affected workers due to its closure were illegally dismissed,
3. Pay each affected employees P10,000 moral damages and P5,000 exemplary damages for finding DIGITEL guilty of Unfair Labor Practice for – bad faith in closure of Digiserve and replace it with I-tech; illegal dismissal of affected employees mostly union members and officers; and in violation of the Assumption Jurisdiction Order.

We expects that the said Supreme Court DECISION will bring us hope that our 19 years of struggles will be rewarded with success, yet we found it’s not going this way.

The Digitel/PLDT move similarly situated to the action of Digitel in this very case when it lay-off around 100 operators (close down Digiserve one of its department and put up I-tech to take the jobs of laid off employees ).

It makes sound sense for corporate greed to rid the union and regular workers and fill the company with contractuals who would work for much less!

To defend themselves, the union filed four Notices of Strike (NOS) that was slapped by the Labor Department with an Assumption Jurisdiction every time before the end of the cooling- off period.

Last March 18-21, 2013, we staged four day picket in front of DOLE and thereafter up to present staged synchronize protest picket in at least 6 regional business units from Northern Luzon to Bicol Region. This pushed Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz to issue an order granting the Motion for Issuance of Execution and a Writ of Execution.

Now, the Digitel made a manifestation before DOLE Secretary’s Office that it will not negotiated as DECISION was already overtaken by supervening event – closure, integration of Digitel operation to PLDT.

Clearly the Digitel/PLDT move towards redundancy and closure is a blind move to avoid the responsibility of negotiating with the workers and replace regular workers with contractuals.

Hunger Strike is our last recourse if DOLE and Court will not push the decision to fruition, especially with telecomm giant Digitel/PLDT bent on choking the life out of the union and mangling the law to unrecognizability. Our experience also reveals that we have nowhere to go under the system, as concerned authorities on their part are just watching until their decision turn to a mere scrap.

Our case maybe a rare land mark decision that maybe useful for your/our struggle against contractualization. However we will be frank enough to say that our own strength do not match with the two (2) Telecom Titans to give lives and blood to this DECISION we call as an opportunity to combat contractualization and capitalists grand scheme in trampling the constitutionally guaranteed rights and stepping on against the Order of the highest court of the land.

In this regard, we are appealing before your office to take whatever actions you can take that may help us our demand to stop Digitel/PLDT breaking the laws and court order, that will encourage chaos. This contravene to our President marching line — Tuwid na Daan…

Help us expose the fact that the move towards redundancy and closure is a blind to avoid the responsibility of negotiating with the workers and replace regular workers with contractuals.
• Closure, Integration of operation to PLDT – Redundancy cum (ERP) Retire – Rehire No Way!
• Absorb Digitel employees in the Integration of Digitel Operation to PLDT
• Negotiate CBA with the DEU immediately, without further delay!

[Press Release] Support Snowball for Digitel Employees -DEU

Support Snowball for Digitel Employees

DSC01955

Support snowball for beleaguered digital employees union (DEU), currently picketing the PLDT Main Office in Makati.

Labor organizations MAKABAYAN and Alliance of Progressive Labor (APL) troop to the DEU picket line that was set up early morning of April 9. Sixty (60) security guards and four (4) patrol cars of the Makati City Police were deployed to the area. There were reports yesterday that PLDT plans to break the picket line.

Workers demand that their labor dispute with PLDT, which has acquired DIGITEL last year, be immediately resolved.

According to DEU, closure and redundancy was PLDT’s answer to the union demand of collective bargaining and secure jobs.

DIGITEL closed last March 15.

Management has yet to talk to the picketing workers.

Yesterday, DEU received news that Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz has set a conference meeting on April 16 between the union and PLDT management.

“Wag sanang pagpasa-pasahan ng DOLE at PLDT kaming mga manggagawa.” said Fritz Alzuelo, DEU Vice President.

“Hindi kami aalis dito hanggang hindi ito nareresulosyunan.” ended Alzuelo.

DIGITEL Employees – shifted their protest to PLDT main Office at Makati from different business offices

As early as 5:30 in the morning today, members of Digitel Employees Union (DEU) coming from different provinces of Luzon met together and put up a protest center in front of PLDT Main Office at Makati Ave corner De la Rosa St, Makati City. They are protesting the “closure and integration of Digitel operation” as an outcome of 2011 “sale” – shareholding swapping between the two communication giants.

Closure has now become an obstacle in implementing the Supreme Court Order to negotiate with the union for their collective bargaining agreement. The closure also resulted to the dismissal and Redundancy of Digitel employees.

DEU has won every case (12 cases in all) in every step of the way against Digitel, which was formally owned by John Gokongwei, from the Office of The DOLE Secretary and National Labor Relation Commission (NLRC).

CLOSURE is a clear “IWAS PUSOY” maneuver by Digitel, the latest addition to PLDT group of companies, which was acquired by PLDT last 201.

Digitel allegedly “closed down” last March 15, 2013 but the truth is the operation continues, the Digitel operation now is manned by contractual employees mostly from former Digitel employees who avail Voluntary Resignation Program (VRP) and Early Retirement Program (ERP).

Last April 2, 2013 DEU pitched five Regional Offices of Digitel (Naga, Dagupan, Rizal, Bulacan and Pampanga).

[Press Release] DIGITEL Employees – to protest anew at different business offices Geared for hunger strike! -DEU

DIGITEL Employees – to protest anew at different business offices Geared for hunger strike!

kpd logoDIGITEL Employees are back at different DIGITEL Offices and exchanges on the first day or April to protest against the non-issuance of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Central Office of a writ of execution of the Supreme Court decision on their case and a restraining order on Digitel’s integration of operation with PLDT.

“We’ve waited long enough, and this is only what we got?” said Allan Licardo, Digitel Emplyees Union (DEU) President. “This is another station of the cross—additional to the 19 years of carrying the cross on our shoulder.” Licardo was referring to their fight for the right to self organization and to collective bargaining negotiation way back in 1994.

Licardo explained that DOLE’s decision granting the execution without a writ of execution will not do any good for the employees because it cannot force the DIGITEL management to obey the Supreme Court decision to bring the dismissed workers back to their work and start with the collective bargaining.

The simultaneous protests at different business units will last until tomorrow. If no positive result takes place, all members will go to Manila to reset up a protest center where some will stage a hunger strike.

Hunger Strike is our last recourse if DOLE and Court will not push the decision to fruition, especially with telecom giant Digitel/PLDT bent on choking the union to its death and mangling the law to unrecognizability. Our experience reveals that we have nowhere to go under the system, as concerned authorities merely wait and see until their decisions favorable to workers such as the SC decision last January 21,2013 are reduced to mere scraps of paper.” Licardo pointed out.

PLDT “bought” Digitel via shareholding swap then closed it, integrated its operation into PLDT’s, got rid of the regular employees who are union members to replace them with contractual workers. “If this is the meaning of Pinoy’s ‘tuwid na daan’, it means that he is encouraging his people to violate orders of the Supreme Court,” Licardo lamented.

“This (maneuver from the PLDT/DIGITEL) does not contravene labor rights guaranteed by the Constitution but it also violates the approved “sale”/shareholding-swap between Digitel and PLDT as approved by the National Telecommunication Commission. Lastly, this is a continuing violation by DIGITEL, a grievous violation after violations that can be considered criminal,” Licardo further explained.

“So our resolve is to undergo hunger strike to sacrifice ourselves to bring things in order. This is a bitter pill we are willing to take not only for ourselves but for the future generation,“ Licardo concluded”. ###

DIGITEL Employees put up a Protest Center in front of the DOLE Office

DEU Workers small

After shaving their heads, members of the Digitel Employees Union (DEU) set up a protest center in front of the DOLE Office. The protest of the Digitel Workers will continue until the DOLE Secretary releases a Motion for Execution for the Supreme Court Decision last January 21, 2013 stating that DIGITEL (now under the PLDT Group) is guilty of unfair labor practice and telling the Digitel Management to reinstate all dismissed workers.

Last March 19, 2013, they filed a letter of Appeal in Malacanang for PNoy to look into their plight.
