INGATAN ANG MGA REKORD! ITO AY SUSI SA PAGTATANGGOL NG IYONG MGA KARAPATAN!
› Mahalaga ang pagiingat ng mga rekord para sa mga
araw at oras ng trabaho, anumang mga break na isinagawa, at mga sahod na binayaran bilang mga katibayan sakaling ang iyong mga karapatan ay nalabag.
Ilista ang kontak impormasyon ng iyong employer
(buong pangalan, telepono, at tirahan) Kung bahagi ng iyong gawain ay ang pagaalaga ng mga bata o tulungan ang mga matatandang kliyenteng may kapansanan, dapat mong irekord din kung gaano karaming oras ang nailalaan mo sa paggawa ng mga gawaing bahay sa loob ng isang linggong trabaho.
Kung ikaw ay nakaranas ng harassment, isulat ang mga detalye kabilang ang petsa, oras, lokasyon at kung ano ang nangyari.

PAWIS stands in solidarity with International Longshore Warehouse Union Local 6 in their strike against C&H!

The sugar workers have been striking against their employers, American Sugar Refining, who is attempting to take away retiree benefits, reduce overtime pay and paid sick leave, and other unfairly demands.

As a Filipino workers association, we see the relation to the Philippines because the sugar C&H received was grown in the Philippines, particularly in Negros Occidental, where peasant farmers and Indigenous community experience extreme land grabbing and unliveable wages. Negros Occidental is also the location of many massacres, most recently of the Negros 19 this past April.
