Also present at
AWU's press conference on Monday were representatives from employees' associations of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the National Food Authority, the Department of Agriculture, and the National Housing Authority; and the Judiciary Employees Association.
"The P466 daily minimum wage for private-sector workers in the National Capital Region and the P9,000 monthly salary of government employees on Salary Grade 1 do cover even half of the Family Living Wage, currently pegged at P1,086 a day,"
AWU said.
The
AWU is one union which is deeply fearful about the impact of environ mental policy on its members.
In October 1971, 10,000 members of the
AWU threatened strike action if the NSW Industrial Commission did not awarded full pay for workers compensation.
The Australian Workers Union (
AWU), which has strong representation in the mining and EITE industries, is one union which is fearful about the impact of fusing labour and the environment.
The
AWU believes there was no breach of privacy and there were no records of workers' activities, which would need to be destroyed.
The long entanglement with, and then battles against, the
AWU are not matters of mere 'background'.
Moreover, the dominant position of the
AWU within the labour movement ensured support from its rural base.
The
AWU would be one of those groups, which each sent up to three representatives, depending upon membership.
And at Mount
Awu in Sangihe nearly 20,000 people have been evacuated from the mountain slopes.
The SDA and the Australian Workers Union (
AWU) had not opposed the RAQ application, having negotiated an agreement with it.
The strike threat comes from members of the AMWU and
AWU, who rejected a Qantas package covering wages and working conditions.
