“The Alorica and West management has left us with no choice but to wage a strike. We have exhausted all efforts to resolve our issues through constructive means and social dialogue,” said UEA union president Sarah Preztoza.
Preztoza, UEA: “We humbly sought their attention numerous times but they turned their back on us every step of the way... They continue with their illegal and unjust termination of our members and co-workers along with their pursuit of cancellation of our union registration.”
Last July, UEA filed for preventive mediation proceedings at NCMB-DOLE over: union-busting, union-harassment, lack of due process in admin case proceedings, forcible “redeployment” that led to resignation or termination of 200 tenured workers.
“We have devoted much of our skills, time and efforts serving the company but they relentlessly deprived us of our rights. We are ready to fight,” said union leader Preztoza.
