WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN!

The workers of Sofitel through the Philippine Plaza Chapter and the Philippine Plaza Supervisor’s Chapter, both affiliates of the National Union of Workers in Hotel, Restaurant, and Allied Industries, express our utmost gratitude to those that supported us in our struggle for our jobs, families, and future. This victory could not have been possible without the strong unity of Sofitel’s workers and the invaluable solidarity that the supportive public provided. Among the many that answered our call include the office of Senator Risa Hontiveros, the NAGKAISA labor coalition, and the Akbayan Party.

Sofitel is the beloved hotel that it is because of the service that we workers provide. We are happy that the agreement between our parties reflects this fundamental fact. The agreement with the Sofitel management secured virtually all the union's demands. The union has gotten what the workers rightfully deserve: guaranteed jobs should the hotel reopens and respect for their unions.

To the workers, both from the public and private sector, that actively supported and closely followed our struggle, let our success inspire you. When the working people fight, when we unite, and when we struggle together, victories are always possible. We are especially grateful to the solidarity provided by the International Union of Food - Asia Pacific and the broader international labor movement.

The Sofitel campaign’s victory is an important reminder: When workers organize, when we fight, we win!

On the issue of jeepney modernization, and the greater issue of a faltering transport system in the Philippines:

"The National Confederation of Transport Workers’ Unions - SENTRO (NCTU - SENTRO) demands a clear direction for the government’s PUV modernization program (PUVMP) to respond to the collective grievances of drivers, operators, and the commuting public. The series of transport strikes by the remaining traditional jeepneys points to a glaring problem: What is the plan for transport? Especially for jeepney modernization? The NCTU believes that “modernization” does not have to mean the loss of livelihood for the thousands of unconsolidated drivers and operators."

Read the full statement in the post below:

Transport workers empowerment through education, campaign and lobbying.

Develop the leadership capacity of transport workers to enable them in engaging National Government agencies and Local Government Units (LGU) with regards in their different issues.
