Faculty union eyes strike
URGES ADMIN TO FOLLOW CBA
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The Silliman University Faculty Union in Dumaguete City is poised to file a notice to strike against the administration that it claimed had violated provisions of their Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The union is expected to file the notice to strike Monday before the National Conciliation and Mediation Board in Cebu City, after which, a 15-day cooling off period will start for the union members to conduct the strike vote in the presence of a representative of the Department of Labor and Employment.
SUFA union president, Vic Aguilan, said the university
was supposed to comply with the supplemental increase agreement at the
end of the first semester in March this year, based on the hike in the
number of students retroactive in June of last year.

Ma
of OFW fears for A mother of an Overseas Filipino Worker is seeking the help of the Department of Labor and Employment to determine the fate of her daughter working in Kuwait, who was allegedly prevented by her employer from coming home. Eleuteria Alagao, told DOLE personnel in Dumaguete City, that her daughter, Margarita, 28, had ended her two-year employment contract in February yet. Eleuteria said her daughter told her on the phone last February
that her employer kept on delaying her schedule to leave, which
made her very uneasy because she already wanted to go home. She
added that Teresa, Margarita's younger sister who works as a sales
lady in a department store in Manila, also expressed concern when
she could no longer get in touch with Margarita through her cellular
phone. |

Driver
cheats death A traffic accident early yesterday morning plunged portions of Dumaguete City into darkness when a speeding red Toyota Vios car rammed into the post of the Negros Oriental II Electric Cooperative, at the corner of Aldecoa and Real streets cutting off electric power, communication and cable TV lines. The car was a total wreck but the driver survived without a scratch due to the airbag of the car. The driver, Jose Elnar, 23, single, of Sta. Catalina, Oriental
Negros, said he was trying to avoid a motorcycle that cut across
his way in the intersection, and he quickly swerved the car to the
left hitting the electric post. |
