SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT/ACTIVITY:

The management of Liwayway Marketing Corporation and about 30 workers who went on strike, who are members of LIWU-ANGLO-KMU, along with 130 members of LIWU-CLASS-TUCP, met at the Department of Labor and Employment- 7 on Thursday, September 20, 2018 for the Pre-Certification Election Conference, which was presided by Ms. Sheila Marie C. Cagang, Tri-City Field Office Certification Election Officer.

More than 300 employees of Liwayway Marketing Corp. in SitioSudlon Barangay Maguikay, Mandaue City staged a strike Saturday, August 25, 2018.

On Tuesday morning, August 28, 2018, a short commotion transpired after non-striking workers of Liwayway Marketing Corp. tried to break the picket line to enter the company premises after they have been barred by fellow workers on strike. Around 200 non-striking workers, who wanted to resume work, were prevented by workers on strike and members of cause-oriented groups.

The pre-certification election on September 20, 2018, resulted to the resumption of work of all Liwayway Marketing Corporation workers regardless of union affiliation on September 24, 2018.

An orderly, peaceful and fair Certification Election was conducted on October 9, 2018 at Liwayway Marketing Corporation, Brgy. Maguikay and Brgy. Tabogon, Mandaue City, by all Tri-City Field Office Staff, with the assistance of the MALSU staff.
