Mining Strike Continues in Cordillera Administrative Region Amid Mediation Efforts
What happened
Workers from the Philex National Mines and Allied Workers Union began a strike over a collective bargaining deadlock at PHILEX Mining Corp. The company reported that operations at its Padcal mine remained unhampered, and initial reports indicated production levels were at usual levels on Sunday. The Department of Labor and Employment invited the company and the union to a conciliation-mediation conference in Manila, despite ongoing negotiations before the National Conciliation and Mediation Board in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
