LABOR groups are now demanding additional allowances, grants, and a new round of wage hikes in response to government’s alleged failure to address high inflation.
The labor leader said they will demand higher minimum wage rates due to what he calls a dismal government response to inflation, which reached 8.7 percent in January, particularly for food and electricity. TUCP also called on the regional wage boards to grant minimum wage earners an emergency cost of living allowance to address the urgent needs of vulnerable workers pending the new round of wage hikes.
