Case No 2488 (Philippines) - Complaint date: 31-MAY-06

Federation of Free Workers (FFW) – Visayas Council

Allegations

The complainants allege that the University of San Agustin dismissed all 15 officers of the University of San Agustin Employees’ Union – FFW (USAEU) in retaliation for the staging of a strike which was initially found legal by the Department of Labor and Employment and subsequently declared illegal by the courts. The complainant also alleges partiality on behalf of the judicial authorities including the Supreme Court, leading to decisions which are alarmingly dangerous for the rights of the workers to collectively bargain, strike and obtain protection against anti-union discrimination, thus encouraging other employers (Eon Philippines Industries Corporation and Capiz Emmanuel Hospital) to engage in further acts of anti-union discrimination
