Nagkaisa pushes P150 wage hike; DOLE cites wage board’s virtues

Quick Summary:

WITH just over a week left before the House of Representatives adjourns its session, a labor coalition on Wednesday renewed its call to lawmakers to pass the long-overdue across-the-board wage hike for workers.

Through the wage boards, Laguesma said workers and employers can have an agreement on the adjustment of the minimum wage rates.

The proposed increase is outlined in House Bill No.7871, or the Wage Recovery Act, filed in 2023 by the Trade Union Congress Party (TUCP).
