TAGBILARAN CITY, Sept. 28– Gitun-an karon sa gobyerno ang posibleng pagpasaka og kasong economic sabotage sa mga miyembro sa Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA).
Kahinumdoman nga gahapon, kanselado ang mga flights sa PAL tungod sa welga sa PALEA diin libuan ka mga pasahero ang apektado.
Miingon si Presidente Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III nga nisulod na usab kini sa iyang huna-huna ug gimanduan ang mga abogado sa pagtino kun unsang mga kaso ang mapasaka sa PALEA. Matud pa sa Presidente, basta ang klaro, unsa mang disruption o pagkalangan sa serbisyo, paglapas kini sa Civil Aviation Act of 2008.
Base sa CAAA, ang maong paglapas adunay silot nga pagka-bilango gikan usa hangtud tulo ka tuig ug adunay multa nga mokabat sa P500,000.
“Any person who disrupts the services of an airport is criminally liable under the Civil Aviation Authority Act of 2008 and may be penalized with imprisonment ranging from one year to three years or a fine of not less than 50,000 pesos but not exceeding 500,000 pesos or more as determined by the court.” Wala ring nakikitang basehan ang ginawa ng PALEA lalo pa’t itinaon na may bagyo sa bansa. “I was told that there was a meeting last—anong oras na ba?—last night prior to today. And when they stated, there was no plans to embark on such an activity. Parang several groups were represented among them ‘yung NAIA management, ‘yung PNP component
doon, may DOLE representatives. If they would go on such an activity, they will give 24 hours notice. They didn’t do any of those things at may bagyo, ‘di ba,” matud pa ni Presidente Aquino.

While members and leaders of the Philippine Airlines Employees’ Association (PALEA) are
holding a strike vote, Malacañang is trying to mediate between union and management in the
hopes of averting a work stoppage involving around 3,700 workers of the flag carrier.
In a media briefing Tuesday, President Benigno Aquino III said that Executive Secretary
Paquito “Jojo” Ochoa Jr. is acting as arbiter between PAL workers and management.
PALEA said Monday it will hold a strike vote Nov. 7 to determine if the association could
muster the numbers needed for a strike. The union said it expects around 3,700 members
from PAL offices in Manila, the airports in Cebu and Davao, and outlying stations in 14 cities
to take part in the strike vote.
On Oct. 29, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz affirmed a March 2010 Department of Labor
and Employment decision allowing PAL management to retrench 2,600 employees to
streamline the airline’s operations.
The move cuts down PAL’s workforce to 4,000 and the Office of the President is still
reviewing the decision of Baldoz.

PAKYAS ang management sa Philippine Airlines kon PAL ug ang PAL Flight Attendants and Stewards Association kon FASAP sa pag resolba sa ilang kasungian tungod kay walay buot mopa bag-o sa ilang baruganan tali sa duha ka kampo.
Ang PAL nipahayag niadtong Martes nga ilang barugan ang ilang tanyag nga P80-milyones alang sa cabin crew union sa rason nga dili na sila makahatag pa og dugang tungod sa current financial difficulties.
Tungod niini, ang FASAP moduso sa ilang notice of strike sa mosunod nga duha ka semana.
Atol sa conciliation meeting nga gipahigayon sa National Conciliation and Mediation Board kon NCMB, ang PAL management ni insistir usab sa pag-limit sa ilang panaghisgot sa economic aspect sa collective bargaining agreement kon CBA agig pagsirado sa 2005-2010 CBA uban sa FASAP.
Ang kalihim sa Department of Labor and Employment nga si Rosalinda Baldoz ni ingon nga andam ang kagamhanan nga mopataliwala sa maong kasungian kon gikinahanglan. Apan matud pa ni Baldoz nga wala pa gikinahanglan ang pagsalmot sa kagamhanan ug malaumon siya nga ang duha ka partido makakab-ot ra og maayong kasabutan sa mosunod nga mga adlaw. (PIA-Bohol)

MALACAÑANG on Thursday said that the “worst is over” for the riding public affected by the ongoing dispute between the management and pilots of the Philippine Airlines and there’s no more need for government intervention in the problem.
Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said during a Malacanang press briefing that PAL management on its own will implement a modified flight schedule that will normalize operations
Lacierda said that PAL has committed to submit to the Civil Aeronautics Board a revised flight schedule for all routes, thus assuring flights for the riding public.
“This will normalize the operations under a used flight frequency. Apparently PAL has come up with the modified schedule so as not to prejudice to riding public,” Lacierda said.
On the concerns of the PAL pilots about what they felt was the indiscriminate transfer of pilots to PAL sister firm, Air Philippines, that reportedly was affecting their security of tenure, Lacierda said that PAL management has promised not to transfer A320 pilots to its sister company.
Lacierda also said that PAL shall undertake dialogue with the remaining pilots.
Lacierda said that the government will no longer take part in the dialogues as he believes that the management and the pilots can mutually resolve the issues by themselves.
He added that the foremost concern of the government was the exodus of the pilots, but since PAL has already promised to modify its flight schedules, the government need not interfere anymore.
