Dear TP
Management,
The TP Watchers would like to let you know that we are alarmed when we heard
the news about an agent from Scandisk account who was suspended for just simply
expressing his views on the on-going salary issue in the company. According to him,
he was 'suspended for 30 days and recommended for termination.'
The TP Watchers oppose that action and are committed to fight for the labor right of every TP
employee. We stand up for what the Constitution states:
'The
State shall afford full protection to labor, local and overseas, organized and unorganized, and promote
full employment and equality of employment opportunities for all.
'It shall guarantee the rights of all
workers to self-organization,
collective bargaining and negotiations,
and peaceful concerted activities, including
the right to strike in accordance with law. They shall be entitled to security
of tenure, humane conditions of work, and a living wage. They shall also participate
in policy and decision-making processes affecting their rights and benefits as
maybe provided by law.
'The State shall promote the principle of
shared
responsibility between workers and employers
and the
preferential use of voluntary modes in
settling
disputes, including conciliation, and shall
enforce
their mutual compliance therewith to foster
industrial peace.
'The State shall regulate the relations
between
workers and employers, recognizing the right
of labor to its just share in the fruits of production and the right of
enterprises to reasonable returns to investments, and to expansion and growth.'
We
believe that the company is in violation of the agent’s right to freedom of
expression and labor law. We want you to investigate on this issue before we
let the public know this through media. We also want you to look into the issue
of retention bonus for the Sprint account, for we receive lots of complaints about it.
By
the way, this effort of our organization has been disseminated all over. We’ve
been receiving unsolicited emails from different media organizations here and
abroad to have our story featured in their magazines, newspapers, cable and
radio programs. For you to believe in us, please see the attachment or click here. The
attached is just one of the emails we have received.
In the spirit of fairness, we are bringing this concern to your attention so you can address this at the soonest possible time. We are looking forward to hear from you soon before we give our official statement to media.
Respectfully,
TP Watchers
