PALEA members at Our Lady of Parish
The truth is our fellow ground crew was not on strike yesterday. They are inside the airport very willing to work but their access to computer, phones, radios were blocked by the management which caused chaos. How could these employees work without access to these equipment? Due to the situation, the management decided to cancel all the flights.

this is so sad..i always ride PAL pa naman going to bacolod, ngayon i'm force to ride na sa cebu pacific kahit ayoko. no choice! :( sana maayos na nila problema na or someone will buy it na.
ReplyDeletewow just heard about this.. if they were not on strike where did the banners, flags and placards came from? they had it handy?
ReplyDeleteKawawa naman kayo mga striking PALEA members, tinerminate na, pinagbubunot pa. Well it was their choice to go on strike. We couldn't blame them. Its their future they are protecting.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand PAL has also some priorities. Apparently, both sides did not try their best, I repeat, their best in resolving their issues.
Someday, the striking members will realize that going on strike was wrong. They will not realize now. Maybe after a year or more, they will.
I know. I've been there. And I regretted joining the pack.
Kwawa nga empleyados but the fact is they are endangering Philippines. Simpleng problema ng 2 partido nandamay pa sila ng ibang tao na di talaga involved tulad ng turista.
ReplyDeletekawawa naman ang mga empleyado, DOLE please help them..
ReplyDeleteAre you serious?? Why would PAL take away their radios and other stuff? Ang gulo naman nila. And kawawa all the passengers.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that information FP? That is a complete lie. Yes, they weren't on strike, but they were "in Protest". No radios/computers taken out. I know this because I am (regretting) related to one of them. Too bad what you said won't win the hearts of the travelers stranded, the damage has been done...
ReplyDeleteL
Manny Pangilinan will be buying PAL once all the labor issues are resolved. Saw it in the papers last week. MVP agrees to the outsourcing to retain only a few people that he will provide better compensation.
ReplyDeleteI hate pal! Nkkawa ung mga tao
ReplyDeleteIt is one of our constitutional right to join union. . .the employees are willing to work then why sabotage. . . Clearly pal is making a demolition job so that these employees would look bad. . .
ReplyDeleteSana maresolbahan nila agad dahil babyahe pa kami via PAL to attend a very important event. Naman napeperwisyo ang mga pasahero nagbayad pa naman kami ng maayos. Sana me iba pang choice na kasing pareho ng service ng PAL kahit na kasing mahal nila huwag lang CEBU PAC na LCCC nga = Bad Service naman.
ReplyDeleteThe worst law approved in the Philippines is the outsourcing law. Now, every company seems to be practicing this kind of employment since it would be so much cheaper for them but at the same time. The reality is though, PAL is not anymore competent in the market. It has been losing a lot of money which could probably be blamed on the bad management. I dont think PALEA has any fight against this. At the end of the day, its still the company's prerogative on what kind of employment scheme they want to practice.
ReplyDeletethese are PURE LIES. I am one of the passengers waiting at around 6:30am yesterday. At around 7am, these PAL staff at the check-in stopped working & discontinued checking-in passengers... Naghahanap ng awa, nag-iimbento pa.. LOOSER!!!!
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous 1:33pm
ReplyDeleteOne day lang nawala syo. Sa mga ground employees ng PAL, pinagkakabuhayan nila ang nawala sa kanila. Nag strike man sila o hindi, mali na bigla na lang silang aalisin and gagawing contractual. Some of them has been with the company for more than 2 decades. They have the right to fight for that. Oo naka-inconvenience sa mga byahero, pero kung ikaw ang nasa posisiyon nila, ngingiti ka na lang ba at sasabihing okei lang?
OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF THEMSELVES ALONE... SANA LANG MAAYOS NILA ANG PROBLEMA OF BOTH SIDES!!! KAWAWA NAMAN ANG MGA SIMPLENG MANGGAGAWA!!!!
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous 2:27... Good Comment!!! I salute you!!! Other people think for themselves only!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy would pal take away the radios and computers? Seriously? Pag ginawa nila yun, sila mawawalan ng income. The palea people just stopped working coz they were in protest. I was there. Walang police or pal mgmt sa airport. The palea people just left their posts. Yes, kawawa naman sila since mawawalan sila ng trabaho, but still at the end of the day, lucio tan owns the company, its his prerogative to choose his employment scheme, he is after all a business man, he's not running a charity, and its legal. Kawawa naman ang mga passengers na nagbayad. Some of them have impt engagements to go to or yung iba are going home sa family nila. Sana yun ang isipin ng palea at pal.
ReplyDeleteBeggars cannot be choosers! PAL is losing a lot of money so if these PALEA members will add to the gravity of the financial condition of PAL, better not bring them back to work! I wouldn't blame PAL if they will just outsource eventually cause there are hundreds more of people who are willing to accept the job even contractual basis. There are some things not worth fighting for! There are some things that people need to accept and start to move on. If these PALEA members are truly concern with their company, they will not do the strike yesterday which made PAL lose a lot more money. So now, how do they expect their company to give in to their demands? Sana magising na sa katotohanan Ang mga PALEA members. Yun na nga more than ilang dekada na sila nagtratrabaho dun kaya nga matataas na sweldo na. Incompetent na iba, ayaw pang mag retire! The company will of course get better efficient people who are willing to take the job even for low salary. PAL is giving them options actually sila lang ang sarado mga isip. Again, beggars cannot be choosers!
ReplyDeleteAng galing 2:47pm.. Wag nalang puro awa. We have to think outside of the box. Business is business. Its not as if tinanggalan sila ng trabaho basta basta. They were given a notice and they will be compensated.
ReplyDeleteIts a lie that pal took away the computers and radios. The palea people just stopped working and left their posts. There were passengers left inside planes already kaso walang ground personnel na nagaassist. and some planes also took off, pano mangyayari yun kung walang radios and computers? I was there yesterday. Kawawa naman passengers kasi naiwan ang cargo nila sa loob ng plane. Iniwan nalang dun. Yung sa pal catering, nilock din ng palea people. You think pal will do that to themselves? Its clearly a sabotage. Sana hindi ganun kasi passengers ang kawawa.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous 2:27
ReplyDeleteMa-i-quote ko lang ang sinabi sa issue na ito..
"The truth of the matter is our fellow ground crew was not on strike yesterday....
I am not only thinking of myself. Point of the matter is that, NAGSISINUNGALING ANG NAG-POST NITO.. HINDI SILA TALAGA NAG-TA-TRABAHO. HINDI SILA KINUHAAN NG RADIO.. NANDUN SILA PERO ITINIGIL NILA ANG PAG-TSE-CHECK-IN... BIGLA NA LANG SILANG TUMIGIL. ANO'NG GUSTONG MAGTRABAHO PERO HINDI SILA MAKA-TRABAHO AT KINUHAAN SILA NG RADIO??? HINDEEE!!!! SINUNGALING!!! NANDUN AKO HANGGANG TANGHALI, KASI NGA TAHIMIK LANG KAMING NAKATANGA DUN!!!! BAGO KA MAGSALITA, MAG-ISIP ISIP KA MUNA NG IDADAGDAG NA KASINUNGALINGAN!!! Ang issue dito ay ituwid ang kasinungalingan na ipinost dito sa FP!!!
It ony proves that these PALEA members are only thinking of themselves and wala silang consideration sa company na nagbigay sa kanila ng kabuhayan ng ilang taon or dekada. Where is their support to their own company if they themselves will make matters worst. Paano nila asasahang mabigay mga gusto nila eh samantalang lugi na nga ang PAL. Imbes na tulungan nila PAL para mabigay mga demands nila, lalo pa nilang pinalalala. It clearly shows na sarili lang nila inisip nila. Hindi isang passenger lang ang napurwisyo at hindi sarili Lang ng pasahero na yun ang iniisip nya. The whole picture says, the strike they did yesterday was an uncivil! Ginamit nila mga karaniwang mamamayan para makuha nila gusto nila na hindi nga maibibigay na sa kanila dahil losing na nga company nila. These employees should learn to give good service so the public will bring back their trust to PAL and in return will put PAL in good grounds again. Saan napunta ang ginastos sa kanila ng PAL to train them to put costumer service at it's best? Tama yung isang comment na beggars cannot be choosers. Mas maraming gustong makipagpalit sa position nila kahit na contractual lang. Mas maraming nangangailangan ng trabaho na tatanggapin Ang inaayawan nila! PALEA members, magising na kayo. Walang pupuntahan ang pinaglalaban nyo dahil kahit ano pang mangyari wala na ring ibabayad sa inyo ang PAL so accept the situation and move on!
ReplyDeleteI was one of those affected by what they did yesterday. They simply left their posts and stopped working. Period. They shouldn't lie just to get sympathy from the public. Kawawa? I googled and saw the renumeration those who will be retrenched will receive from PAL. Read these and think if they are really kawawa.
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know yet, here's the renumeration package being offered to each of the PAL employees who will be retrenched:
Separation pay equivalent to 1.25 month’s salary for every year of service;
Additional gratuity of P100,000 per affected employee (higher by P50,000 per Malacanang order);
100% commutation to cash of unused vacation leave and sick leave balances;
1-year extension of the medical and hospitalization benefits;
Trip pass benefits depending on the number of years of service.

They should think of the commuters sana.Hindi yung mga sarili lang nila.
Remember this adage? " Naghangad ng kagitna, isang salop ang nawala?.
ENough said.
Reality is that FREE TRADE and GLOBALIZATION is in. The most efficient and cost effective way of delivering service is a MUST. If outsourcing is needed and a way to make Pal COMPETITIVE again then I'm all up for it.
ReplyDeleteIt's business after all. The company needs to survive in order to be number 1 again
Unions must understand that managers will listen, but they must also know that if there is a way for a more cost effective way of delivering service then Unions must keep up the pace.
Grabe soobrang desperate na nila, sinungaling na sila.
ReplyDeleteNo more sympathy for you PALEA members. NO MORE!
ReplyDeletePaawa effect kayo. Pa-drama kuno na 'our fellow ground crew was not on strike. Bagong style yan ha! You went ON STRIKE! Period!
Abusado kayo! Wala kayong pinagkaiba sa mga jeepney drivers na nag-strike recently!
Mga PESTE!!! SALOT!
to anonymous 2:47,seryoso ka ba sa mga pinagsasabi mo?san planeta ka nanggaling? walang police or management sa airport?anong tawag mo dun sa mga nakablue sa mga pictures sa taas?mga pasahero? ok lang naman to express diff opinions, pero pag obvious naman mali,wag ng sabihin!at kitang kita din sa news na nagpunta yung president ng pal sa airport.di ba yun part ng management?were you there tlaga sa terminal 2?or baka terminal ng bus ka nagpunta!
ReplyDeletekung hindi sila nag strike eh bakit andun sila sa loob ng work area nila...at saka bakit i shut down ng management ang system na alam nilang buong operasyon magkaka problema at ilang milyon ang mawawala sa kanila...at saka bakit wala man lang kaming narinig na ganitong salita sa mga staff sa loob ng airport at sa PALEA pa...
ReplyDeletei dont think MVP will buy PAL according to sources, siguro kukunin nya ang PAL if the price is right...kasi pag nag sabi sya ng intention to buy PAL mahirap na makipag bid ng gusto nyang price...at saka ang hula kong bilhin ni MVP is tot tot tot....yun lang
i think you people should COOL YOUR HEAD OFF..
ReplyDeleteOPEN it a little bit more and TRY, JUST TRY to put your own feet on the worker's shoes.

Good Comment!!! I salute you!!! Other people think for themselves only!!! September 28, 2011 2:37 PM Wag niyo maliitin ang isang araw. Ang isang araw, marami ka ng pwedeng magawa. Paano kung yung flight na gagamitin is work related? Magkano na nawala? Kung uuwi ng probinsiya para bisitahin ang kamag-anak na nasa ospital? Sa isang araw na yan, pwedeng mamatay yun. Di mo pa maabutan dahil sa kahayupan ng mga PALEA employees na yan. They are working in a service oriented industry. They should serve. Hindi mawawala sa kanila ang 20 years. Bakit? Di ba sila babayaran? Ang ganda ng severance package na ibibigay sa kanila. May gagawin bang illegal ang PAL? Dapat nga pasalamat sila may trabaho sila. Lugi na nga yung kumpanya. Ano pa gusto nila? Tuloy tuloy hanggang ubusin ng PAL ang pera niya. Tapos ano mangyayari sa mga PALEA na yan? Di mas pahirapan pa?
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous Sept 28, 6:59pm:
ReplyDeleteMaganda and pinapalabas na severance package ng Pal management pero alam mo ba kung totoo yan? Dyan magaling ang Pal, magsinungaling and mang-isa.
If Pal's severance packages and policies are good, how come lahat ng libi-libong employees nila, from pilots, flight attendants, ground crew at caterers naghihimutok at nag-strike? Lahat sila swapang except for yun iilan na Pal management? Tingnan mo nga yun mga itsura ng mga tao sa pictures, mukha bang sagana sa buhay yung mga yan. Commonsense naman.
The reason ginagawang contractual and shifting to outsourcing ang Pal ay para buwagin ang mga union at para makagawa pa sila ng iba pang kahayupan againt the employees ng walang nagrereklamo. Hindi pera habol ng mga employees, sobrang tagal nang underpaid yang mga yan. Security of tenure ang gusto nila. Yun ang pinaglalaban nila. Sige, suportahan natin yang kalakaran na gustong gawin ng Pal. Next thing you know, lahat tayong employees, contractual na lahat. Pati ikaw at sana kung may magulang kang tumanda na sa trabaho, hindi gawin yung ganito kasi, sila talaga yung kawawa. Hindi na tatanggapin sa trabaho yun may edad na na tinanggalan ng trabaho ng Pal.
Ikaw ba kung matagal ka na sa trabaho tapos bigla kang tatanggalin, iisispin mo pa yung problema ng iba? diba hindi? Wag kang hypocrite!! Galit ka lang kasi nagkaaberya mga plano mo. Magaling lang kayo magreklamo pero pag sa inyo nangyari ang ginawa sa Palea, mas magwawala pa kayo siguro or kayo yun tatanga na lang and ngingiti sa ginagawa sa inyo!
Sige palea pag-igihin nyo ang pag a aklas nyo! Antayin nyo na magutom ang pamilya nyo.... Puno nga kayo ng prinsipyo, wala namang laman ang sikmura nyo... I try nyo ipakain sa pamilya nyo ang mga sinasabi ninyong prinsipyo! HALLER!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Di daw nag-strike pero ready sila sa mga banners and flashcards nila! Di sila masyadong handa! At natural mente na maglagay ng pulls
ReplyDeletedun dahil highly populated public area ang airport at baka may kaguluhang mangyari sa sobrang galit din ng mga naabalang pasahero. Sino namang tangang kompanya ang mag shut down ng operation and cancel more than 100 flights and lose millions of peso para gawin yun? No airline will do it! Bumenta na kayong mga PALEA members! Di na ubra paawa effect nyo! Pati public galit na sa inyo. Dapat eh tanggalan na talaga kayo ng work! Pasalamat kayo compensate pa kayo ng PAL.
many people just talk without thinking. they even don't bother to know the facts. hopefully these tragedies will not happen to their loved ones. like what i said it is wise to shut your mouth if you do not know what's the real score BUT it is even wiser if you would know both sides of the story before even speaking.
ReplyDeleteTo 6:10.. Walang mgmt and police dun nung umaga! I was there! Kaya lang nagkaron ng polive is coz the palea people wont leave the terminal! They had to make the palea people leave para maayos yung operations. Sana alam mo yung story. Andun ka ba? Malamang wala. Wag sana maniwala sa pics lagi. Maraming story behind the pictures. :)
ReplyDeletebuti pa BI na lang ang pag usapan dito. pati ba naman isyu ng PAL and PALEA pinag uusapan na. ang tawag yata dito sa chinese e "chia syu pa bo tay chi hang cho"
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? These PALEA people had access to computers, radios etc that time. They just ReFUSED to work out of protest! My sister was one of the passengers and sila young nag mamatigas. Please do not say it was PAL who shut off operations. It was the ground crews fault!! We had cargo stuck in the airport for a whole day because they refused to lift a finger!
ReplyDeleteVioletta
I was there, and they were on strike.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this post? A BIG FAT LIE.
No matter the decades spent in a company, an employee is still an employee of a company. Not a part owner, not a major decision-maker. A company still has to consider viability, profitability and longevity in the business. Sometimes, decisions have to be made and there will be retrenchment or re-organization or re-structuring. That is part of the working life. If these things happen, hopefully they can compensate the employees as per MARKET standards.
ReplyDeleteThere is never security of tenure when you are an employee. Because you can always be replaced by someone cheaper or more knowledgeable. It happens even for the big investment banks down to small firms.
I just hope these PAL employees realize that. The "pamilya" concept and "seniority first" practices do not carry over to the big business world.
Sana FP stick to showbiz chismis ka nalang.
ReplyDeleteto 10:08, listen to yourself.nagreact lang ako sa mga sinabi mo.nung una sabi mo walang police or mgmt.tapos sabi ko based sa pics,meron.tapos sabi mo walang police nung umaga.kompletuhin mo kasi!eh malamang!pwede ko din yan sabihin,walang police the past night or kahit 2 nights ago.anubayan!wala nga ako dun,pero alam ko story.kung hindi mo alam yung story stop reacting.hindi mo ba alam na kaya they "stopped" eh dahil hindi sila talaga makacheck-in dahil tinanggal access codes nila.it's up to the public to believe it or not.sila na nga yung pumasok kahit may bagyo.sa tingin nyo bakit nagcancel ang mgmt ng madaming flights a couple of days before?hay naku nakakapagod na to.dont be fooled by the media din.na ipapalabas lang ang kung anong binayaran na dapat ipalabas.goodluck nalang sa lahat.lalo na sa mga magchcheck-in sa PAL. balita ko 30min daw isang passenger.
ReplyDeletemalalaki na kase ulo ng mga old employees ng PAL. they are not considering yung laki ng benefits na nakukuha nila as employees. i have a barkada who works at PAL, hanggang magulang nya libre papuntang US, business class pa.
ReplyDeleteBesides, sa PAL nga lang hindi strict, tingnan nyo nga yung mga flight attendant sa ibang airline, di ka magkasya sa uniform, di ka na tatanggapin. PAL must be more strict pa nga e. It wasn't PAL who shut off operations. I agree na nagmamatigas mga empleyado nila.
They are on strike. Para san pa ang banners di ba. Handang handa sila.
ReplyDeleteNaiintindihan ko bilang empleyado pero ang wrong timing nyo ... nandamay kayo ng maraming pasahero dyan sa strike na yan! kung galit kayo sa management, may 14,000 na taong nadamay.
ReplyDeletedi kayo nakakaawa na. nakakaines lang!
@Gemini,
ReplyDeletesame tayo po, i have a cousin na ung family nya nakakapagtravel kase employee siya ng PAL. yan ang privileges being a PAL employee. hindi nila nakkwenta mga iba pa nilang nakukuha.
nagmamatigas sila kase mga lumang empleyado na sila. yang union kase ang nagpapa lala ng sitwasyon. ang dami nilang demands e may times hindi naman madami ang sumasakay.
i think they were being escorted out by policemen kasi tapos na yung shift nila and they still refuse to leave the airport...
ReplyDeleteokay lang naman mag welga ang worker sana lang di apektado ang mga pasahero, karapatan nilang yun pero mas me karapatan ang mga pasaherong nagbabayad para makasakakay, hindi nakakakuha ng simpatiya kundi perwisyo ang dulot ng mga palea!
ReplyDeleteat sa lahat ng mag wewelga sana meron isang lugar na duon lamang ang lugar na pwede silang gumawa ng ingay at indi sa daan hindi sa lugar na pwede silang makagamla ng ibang tao.
People, can we stop blaming everyone? Others say it's PAL management's fault. Others say it's the ground crew's fault. Can we stop blaming each other and start praying that this stops? Maybe other members were on strike. Maybe others were really trying to work but they didn't have the technical stuff they need to work. Only they know. But we should stop generalizing and say "all of them are at fault". What about those crew who were loyal and willing to work til the end? What about those other people from the 'management' who were also simply doing their jobs? You can't blame the crew for being angry, I mean c'mon. Read the past comments. And it probably was the company's workable idea to make the process contractual. Heck maybe it was one of the ideas of his adviser and he approved. We don't know. Just please people, put yourselves in the other person's shoes. I know you all are angry at what has happened, even with the passengers who had important appointments or whatnot. But nothing good is gonna come out of fighting each other and calling the other one a liar
ReplyDeleteMaganda lang tignan on paper ang ibibigay sa PALEA members. But look at it this way: What is all of that to someone who has been working for PAL for more than 20 years? Bibigyan mo ng trip pass ang alin? Makakapagbakasyon pa ba yang mga yan? I used to work for PAL, mababa ang salary. Maganda lang ang travel and medical benefits. Yan ang aalisin nila sa mga taong nagtitiis sa mababang sweldo (less than 20k for more than 10 years?) dahil maganda ang benefits. And for what? Para "makatipid"? Tha company has been trying to get the upper hand over his employees for the longest time. I have friends who work there. POINT 1: They just stopped working. YOU KNOW WHY? Kasi management had IT change their access codes. Di sila maka-log in sa terminals nila, ergo, di kayo maiche-check-in. Hindi nila sinabi sa inyo? Why? Kasi they are professionals. Kahit paano, ayaw nilang siraan ang kompanya sa pasahero. At hindi din pwede yun. They still follow rules kahit sila ang ginagago. Yung nag-strike sa labas lahat yun naka-day off. Yung mga nasa loob, nagtatrabaho, hindi pinagtatrabaho. Yung mga nasa chapel, ni-lock in, hindi makalabas. You can say all the BS you want, but I don't work for PAL, and I never will. Sabihin nyo "ay, disgruntled employee". I'm not. I'm not even going to be anonymous because I'm not an employee and I have nothing to hide. I have friends (both ground and cabin crew/i.e affected and not affected by the strike) and they all share the same sentiments. Nag-strike nga ang PALEA, pero nag-sabotage naman ang PAL. Ever wonder bakit more than 24 hours na wala pa din ang side ng PALEA? Kasi bayad. Nababayaran ang media. Buksan nyo ang mata nyo sa katotohanan.
ReplyDelete-G. Rodolfo
To Gemini and anonymous 1:58pm
ReplyDeleteAnu man ang privileges na nakukuha ng PAL employees, they earned it. They worked hard for that. So, wag isumbat yun. Saka pag empleyado ka ng isang company natural Lang naman na may benefits ka. Iba nga Lang benefits ng Tiga PAL, dahil free tickets sila minsan. Anu pa at naging airline employee ka kundi tickets ang iba sa benepisyo mo at ng pamilya mo. Magtaka ka kung ang libre mong ticket ay sa barko. And your travel depends sa availability ng seats. And before saying something against the employees, be sure na you know the facts.
G. Rodolfo, why not post your full name if you have nothing to hide? i'm not taking sides, i also know people who have been affected by the PALEA, friends who have worked there for a number of decades pa nga. by simply walking away without saying anything, hindi ba parang sinisiraan na din nila ang kumpanya? pangalawa, may plano na ang strike. PAL may have sabotaged those who were working (which i find hard to believe since kung hindi makasakay ang pasahero, isn't it that PAL will shoulder the cost of staying) but those who were supposedly on day-off, bakit andun? may mali ang management, yeah i agree, but to claim that PALEA did not strike, or they had a good reason to strike, is also a fallacy. hindi na nga gumaganda ang economy, hindi din nakakatulong that our flag carrier is experiencing problems. tanggalin na lang yan si L. give the employees what they deserve. kung outsourcing ang solusyon, so be it for as long as those affected will be properly compensated.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who works as one of the counsels of PALEA and FASSAP. Honestly guys, the PAL employees already won a PHP 200 BILLION law suit against PAL in the Supreme Court for illegal dismissal. I think the SC decision is fair. Imagine, these PAL employees have been working with PAL for DECADES. Then one day, without any mandatory notice of dismissal, PAL just took the ID's of these employees and didn't let them enter the airport. They were notified on the spot that they have been "dismissed." Imagine, the agony these hundreds of PAL employees went through considering that most of them have been working there for DECADES. Marami talagang hocus-pocus sa PAL management. I've seen and scanned through the records of the court proceedings and madami talagang anomalies ang PAL. Nakaka awa lang talaga yung mga employees because they've spent most of their lives working for PAL and yet PAL would just decide to let them go.

Major, major korek po kayo. Sana mabasa at maintindihan at maliwanagan ang lahat.
Korek na korek si 11:12am !!!
ReplyDeleteI worked there before and saw the loyalties of other employees. They've been working there for decades even though there salary is really low. I always asked them why they stay in PAL And they always say "working in PAL gives us pride and honor". They love the company so much to stay even though they deserve more. It's unfair how PAL repays them.
ReplyDeletemahirap talaga yan pag pinasok ng unyon ang isang kompanya kasi grabe makademand ang mga yan kahit hindi naman tumataas ang productivity rate. Sigurado ang mga umaangal jan yung mga matatagal na ang tenure kasi mataas na ang compensation package ng mga yan, hindi na nila yan makukuha sa ibang kompanya kung makalipat man sila. Ok naman ang separation pay ng PAL. Why don't they just move on? Tatay ko naretrench din dati and just spent the money wisely, kaya nakapagtapos pa rin kaming magkakapatid ng kolehiyo. Wala na talagang security of tenure in the global age, people must realize that. Masakit, pero ganyan talaga ang buhay. Ang dapat nila isipin pano nila gagamitin yung makukuha nila pera para maipagpatuloy at mapaunlad pa nila ang mga buhay nila.
ReplyDeleteI have talked to one of the PAL employees. Those people in the counters were already served with termination letters effective 01Oct11 so their last day was supposed to be today. But last 27Sep, their codes to the system was already denied and they cannot access and prior to that some flights were already cancelled due to bad weather.
ReplyDeleteBelow is a video where they were being dispersed by hundreds of police, and on the sides are the people from admin (people who took off their codes without notice)that will take over their job for the day.
Tanggap na naman daw nung mga PAL employees na wala na silang job tomorrow ang kinasasama lang ng loob nila ay sila yung pinapalabas na masama. Pumasok sila para magtrabaho tapos tatanggalan sila ng access ng wala man lang pasabi? There was no proper turnover, bigla na lang silang na itsapwera.

ReplyDeletesana maisip din na kung walang malaking kumpanya o maperang tao na mamumuhunan alang trabaho ang nakararami, sana yun ay maisip din ng mga nagtratrabaho, di naman kelangan laging mag welga, dahil lahat ay pwedeng idaan sa maayos at mahinahon na paguusap na mas naaayon sa nakararami.
ReplyDeleteitigil ang welga dahil nagagambala ang mga pasahero, dahil mayroong mas importanteng dapat gawin ang iba kesa maki simpatiya sa mga welgalista...

ReplyDeleteI agree wit October 1 10:36 . Pano naman yup mga aalis for emergency and medical treatments? My parents took a flight last Monday for medical reasons at sobra ang pagkabastos ng mga PALEA. Service was horrible. Ayaw sumagot Kung kinakausap, Sabotage talaga ang ginagawa nila. Dapat Hindi Lang sila ma terminate, mademanda pa. Hello PNOY!!!!
ReplyDeletenakakalungkot no? tapos ang dami pang mega-react dito. sana lang di sila matulad sa mga natanggal na empleyado. kung sino man ang may kasalanan, si Lord na bahala sa kanila
ReplyDeletenung nanonood ako ng TV naasar ako sa PALEA pero to blame them for everything that had happened is so unfair, im living a comfortable life now so i cant say na nakakarelate ako sa kanila but hey, bakit ang daming nag pi feeling sosyal dito at alam ang lahat, kung gusto niyo bumili kayo ng sarili niyong private jet kung talagang naiirita kayo sa one day na abala sa mga mangaggawa, kaya ang pilipinas ang mayayaman lalong yumayaman, wait hindi nga pala mga pilipino ang mayaman dito sa pilipinas kundi pulos chinese

ReplyDeleteSiguro Kung ikaw At ang pamilya mo ang magka cancer malalaman mo ang halaga ng isang araw na abala ..
*abala talaga sa mga naapektuhan
ReplyDelete*pero isinusulong ang kontra kontraktwalisasyon dito.. -siguro dpat isisi sa mga mambabatas na umapruba nito
*may mga kapitbahay ako na masaya kahit underpaid kasi free trip kahit chance passenger
*wag na kayo magtaka normal lang talaga ang ganito sa pilipinas, mayamang bansa na pinahina ng mga ganid at tusong mga mambabatas na inabuso sa pakikipagtulungan ng mga dayuhang mamumuhunan
*for palea.. ituloy ang laban kahit mamatay kayo sa prinsipyo..
*sa mga naperwisyo pasensya na lang muna.. isinusulong nila ang mas malaking laban
hahhaa bat ba ako napost dito?
eh wala naman magbabago
hay bwusit na report sa school yan about this
-chester
better check first the reason why they were on strike
ReplyDeletesabe nga diba, 'walang usok kung walang apoy'
so meaning there is a reason behind it
hindi ka pwedeng mag judge sa kung anong nakikita mo lang - magtanong, makibalita (sabe nga ng GMA, hahaha)
lawakan ang pag iisip, mag research
lahat ng bagay may rason, may dahilan - wag idaan lahat sa galit
affected ka ng strike na to dahil di ka nakaalis? alam mo ba bakit sila nag'strike? alam mo ba bakit sila galit sa management?
hindi sa kinakampihan ko sila, wag lang sana tayo agad mag judge - wag agad mgalit sa kanila, hindi nila yan magagawa ng walang sapat na dahilan
:)
Mahirap talaga once mapasukan ng union problema talaga. Union ang dahilan ng mga strike or protest ng mga members nito. For the PALEA members they should move on anyway they will be receiving severance pay naman, ganun talaga everybody is dispensable. Kahit sinong kompanya if it is not making money the only option is to cut cost and one of them is to retrench and out source.
ReplyDeletemalas talaga ang union s isang company lalo s mga trabahador ang husband ko n walan ng pinag kakakitaan dahil jan sa union haaaiyz :(
