The Western Visayas Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board approved Tuesday a resolution accepting a wage hike petition filed by two groups, RTWPB labor representative Wennie Sancho said yesterday.

Accepted for being sufficient in form and substance was the petition of the General Alliance of Workers Associations and the New and Independent Workers Organization, he said.

Consultations are scheduled on November 11 in Iloilo and December 1 in Bacolod City, he said.

The petition calls for P85, P75 and P72 per day wage increase for industrial/commercial, agricultural plantation and non-plantation workers. Sancho said.

The petition was signed by GAWA chair Noel Alisen and NIWO president Emmanuel Bandola, he added.*CPG
