“The activities are meant to enhance public awareness on the Ampatuan massacre and on impunity,” CMFR deputy director and former dean of the UP-CMC Luis Teodoro said in a press conference Nov. 16.
Starting October 12, the picket in front of ABS-CBN network's Sgt. Esguerra gate will serve as protest center of the Internal Job Market Workers Union (IJMWU) to further pressure the network management to reinstate the 114 illegally dismissed workers and to hold certification elections, following the Department of Labor and Employment's (DOLE) decision on their case.

Her labor case took seven years before the DOLE issued a decision saying Wheng Hidalgo is supposed to be treated as regular employee at ABS-CBN.

The ABS-CBN IJM Workers Union asks President Aquino to stop the illegal dismissals, contractualization and union-busting at his “favorite” media network.

The network said it is “not dismissing or retrenching employees.” Instead, it describes the dismissals as an “ongoing process.”
Broadcasting giant ABS-CBN has fired more workers from its so-called "Internal Job Market," leaders of the workers' union said Thursday. The number of dismissed workers of ABS-CBN IJM now total 32, up from the 25 since the last firing.
