"Minimum wage lunch" begins Asia labour campaign Women labourers in Manila are to hold a "minimum wage" lunch today as part of a campaign for workers rights throughout Asia.
The Committee for Asian Women is to hold the Minimum Wage Joint Action campaign across the Philippines, Thailand, South Korea and Indonesia, amongst other nations.
Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) Women will be sponsoring the event and said it will continue fighting for the P125 minimum wage increase.
The group has criticised the Department of Labor and Employment's (DOLE) attempts to pacify protestors with 'trivial' proposals.
"DOLE remained unresponsive to the most urgent needs and demands of Filipino workers. They can only make do with frivolous celebrations during Labour Day while neglecting more important concerns for significant wage increase," it told GMAnews.tv.
The KMU fights for the Filipino working class and its roots trace back to the country's first trade union in 1892.
