Subject: Grand Boulevard strike update
Date: Tuesday, 9 March 1999 20:02
Action Alert Update 09 March 1999
Grand Boulevard Hotel strike attacked, unionists fired ABOUT 300
security guards and hired goons of the Grand Boulevard hotel
management attacked the picketline of striking workers and their
supporters last night, March 8.
At least two workers were rushed to the hospital after being
seriously injured. Among those attacked were women strike supporters
who came from a rally held by KMU, GABRIELA and BAYAN commemorating
the International Working Women's Day.
On March 3, the day after the strike started, the hotel management
sent a notice of termination to 25 unionists "and all those who
participated in the strike". Yesterday, a return-to-work order was
issued by Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma. The hotel management,
headed by big businessman rebecco Panlilio, is reportedly close to
the Rebolusyonaryong Alyansang Makabayan (RAM) responsible for the
klilling of KMU chair Rolando Olalia and Leonor Alay-Ay in 1986.
The Grand Boulevard workers continue to defy the government order
and vowed to fight on for their demands.
REINSTATE THE DISMISSED STRIKERS!
GRANT THE UNION'S DEMANDS!
STOP THE REPRESSION!
