In a statement, the Associated Broadcasting Company Employees Union (ABCEU), a labor union of TV5, filed a notice of strike before the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) last Friday after its talks with its management on the non-economic provisions of its CBA bogged down, particularly on job security.
This comes after TV5 management opposed the inclusion of its initiative to rename some of its department and positions saying the scheduled CBA meeting last November 11 is not the venue for such discussion.
ABCEU, however, insisted on taking up the new policy since it claimed TV5 could use the provision to indiscriminately source out its manpower needs from third party service providers.
“They will declare the previous positions within the said departments as redundant and ask them (workers holding the position) to resign later on,” ABCEU explained.
“Our fear is that in the near futures this could eventually lead to massive contractualization,” it added.
ABCEU earlier questioned the policy through a grievance complaint, when it affected seven of their members.
The group later decided to forgo the complaint and just include it during the scheduled CBA negotiations.
“What we are asking to be included in the CBA, would for management to first consult us before changing the name or position…while they were more than willing to talk about wage hike, what good would it be if on the next day you no longer have a job,” ABCEU said.
The TV5 management contested, this saying the non-economic provision should not be a part of the initial phase of the CBA.
During the meeting, ABCEU also raised the issue of late remittance of union dues and the exclusion of the still being built office of TV5 in Mandaluyong City from the scope of the CBA.
A conciliation and mediation talks will be held by DoLE at 2 p.m. tomorrow in an attempt to resolve the ongoing labor dispute.

ReplyDeleteAgree ako kay anon 1:18, milyones or bilyones mamigay ng talent fee sa mga HINDI naman deserving, ayan tuloy yun mga employees nila ang apektado.
ReplyDeleteMilyon milyon ang binayad ng TV5 kay Mega Nega Sharon Cuneta o ano may nanood ba ng mga programa niya? waley pa ang 1% sa rating. Bakit di nila sisihin yung mga ganid na laos stars na binili nila.
Deletecorrect samantalang un mga ng hardwork behind the camera nasasacrifice what supposed to be for them. c'mon if you can't afford all the employees wag na kayo magpasikat ng malaki kayo mg tf sa celebrities pero meron naman pala nasasakripisyong serbisyo

ReplyDeleteSame line,nung lopezes ang may ari ng meralco,wala na bang bago?
DeleteYou don't know what really happen in the company kaya wag kayong mag react dyan mga baks.
ReplyDeletePaano nga nauubos pondo nila sa naglalakihan TF ng mga talents nila. Pati sa pasahod sa top executives nila. Sobrang bongga ang
ReplyDeleteMga launching ng TV5. Pag may mga shows abroad lahat ng top executives sumasama sa trip na akala nila ay isang malaki at engrandeng bakasyon. Sanay mga yan na naka limousines at nasa
TV5 had become the milking cow of its top executives. They go to NY to have rhe grandest time of their lives. They stayed at the ritzy Astoria Plaza, rode limousine and wine and dine at the company's expense. They go to Dubai and stay at the ritzy Four Seasons. They treat their jobs at TV5 as one big grand vacation at the expense of the labor who is the workforce behind the network.
ReplyDeleteOh my, if what you say here it true, then MVP is not as good as people say he is with managing his people or his business. If you look at the most successfully run businesses such frivolity would never be allowed. Well, they made their bed, now they have to lay on it.
