Labor leaders joining forces vs reelectionists, political dynasties
The Philippine Star
|October 21, 2024
Five labor leaders eyeing Senate seats are joining forces for a stronger challenge against reelectionists and those belonging to political dynasties in next year's elections.
Federation of Free Workers president Sonny Matula yesterday reported that he is in talks with other labor leaders - Jerome Adonis of Kilusang Mayo Uno, lawyer Ernesto Arellano of National Confederation of Labor, Leody de Guzman and lawyer Luke Espiritu of Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino. Matula said they are discussing the possibility of mounting a united and pro-worker platform in their Senate run.
"This election is a pivotal moment for labor representation in the Senate as well as in the House of Representatives, and it is essential that while we investigate past abuses, we also advance legislation that will safeguard workers' rights and improve their lives," he added.
Matula said they are challenging political dynasties in Congress and would like to offer better alternatives to the electorate.
