Cabuyao, LAGUNA – Around 1,000 workers of NXP Semiconductors Cabuyao Inc. protested the illegal termination of 24 union leaders amid the ongoing Collective Bargaining Negotiations.

Members of the NXPSCI Workers’ Union managed to breach police barricades and hold a protest rally at the company’s compound inside the Light Industry & Science Park (LISP 1).

NXP (formerly known as Philips Semi-conductors), one of the biggest electronics firms in the world, terminated 24 union officials May 5 claiming they led “illegal strikes” on April 9, 17 and 18 and May 1, all of which are government-declared holidays.
