Cory hacienda retrenching workers.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Jo Clemente, PDI Central Luzon Desk
TARLAC CITY-The reduction of the workforce of the Hacienda Luisita Inc. (HLI) was a business decision and a purely labor issue, a representative of HLI management said here.
The HLI issued the statement in reaction to accusations of workers that the ongoing mass layoff in the company was depriving them of their rights to enjoy the full benefits of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL).
But the workers insisted that the layoff and the HLI's stock distribution program were intertwined as the basis of shares of stock given them were the "man days" they rendered in the farms. This means that if they did not work, they would not receive any shares of stock.
The workers are now asking the Department of Agrarian Reform to undertake its mandate and review the HLI stock distribution program as should have been in 2000, 10 years after the program was implemented.
HLI was touted as a showcase in corporate agrarian reform implemented during the term of former President Corazon Aquino in her own family's Hacienda Luisita.
