‘Arrastre firm willing to
hire port workers’
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The new arrastre and stevedoring company at the Dumaguete City port is willing to accommodate port workers of a former firm, subject to the legal screening as provided in a contract, the legal counsel of Prudential Brokerage and Customs Services Inc. said in a statement yesterday.
Joel Obar, counsel for PBCSI, issued the statement in the wake of the notice of strike filed by port union members, if all of them will not be absorbed by the new arrastre company.
Obar clarified that the PBCSI has opened the opportunity for port workers but they have to go through a screening process. The company will also review its financial status for sustainability, so as not to jeopardize its operation, Obar added.
