The relationship between labor and management in Negros Occidental is harmonious, based on the low number of preventive mediation cases filed last year, National Labor Relations Commission mediator Joseph Llanto said.

The Philippine Information Agency said in a press release that only five cases were filed and four of these were settled. Two big companies awarded financial claims totaling to P14.5 million to more than 200 employees.

No notice of strike was filed before the NLRC-Negros Occidental office in 2005.

Llanto said that National Conciliation Mediation Board Executive Director Hans Leo Cacdac has cited Region 6 for having the least number of notices of strike compared to other regions, PIA said.

Only five notices of strike were filed at NLRC 6 last year, all of them in Iloilo City.*
