Pizza Hut employees demand reinstatement

Some 30 employees of Pizza Hut chain, who claimed they were illegally terminated by the Philippine Pizza Inc. (PPI) allegedly owned by Jorge Araneta, stormed the pizza outlet head office in Cubao, Quezon City, on Tuesday to demand their reinstatement.

The Philippine Pizza Inc. Workers’ Union-Katipunan ng mga Samahan ng Manggagawa (PPIWU-Kasama), in a statement, said “PPI regarded the Supreme Court (SC) decision of ‘regular status’ as null, therefore, an act of renouncing the rule of the highest court of the land and a direct challenge to the avowed thrust of the Duterte administration to end all forms of contractualization.”
