Labor to look into new sugar order implication

BACOLOD CITY: A Negros-based labor group has welcomed the latest order of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) even as they said they still need to get a copy of the document and study its implications.

Winnie Sancho, convenor of the Save-Sugar Industry Movement (Save-SIM), said the new order of the regulatory body is a product of efforts of stakeholders of the sugar industry but the labor sector “fears that the latest SRA order will be contested by the country’s beverage companies before the courts.”
