MAYNILAD Water Services, Inc. said it has come to
terms with the Maynilad Water Supervisors’ Association on a new
collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that will cover the wage and
welfare benefits of the distributor’s supervisors for the next
three years.
Maynilad said that under the CBA
about 300 supervisors stand to get a pay increase of P2,950 for the
first year, and P2,900 for the second and third year; an increase in
the midyear financial assistance of P1,500 for the first year and
P1,000 for the second and third years; assistance to workers’
education in the amount of P150,000; an increase of P100 each for
their rice and meal allowance; and an increase of P2,000 for
dependents’ health maintenance benefit. They will also receive a
P20,000 signing bonus.
The conclusion of the CBA
negotiations comes on the heels of the signing of the new CBA
between Maynilad and the rank-and-file union, the Maynilad Water and
Sewerage Union-Philippine Transport Workers Group Organization.
The new labor accords come
shortly after a consortium led by DMCI Holdings and Metro Pacific
Investment Corp. bought the government’s controlling stake in
Maynilad.
