Bomedco union, mgmt. sign CBA
THE closure of a sugar milling company in northern Cebu has been averted.
After a deadlock in bargaining negotiations on economic issues, a notice of strike had been filed by the union of Bogo-Medellin Milling Co. Inc. (Bomedco), while Bomedco’s board of directors had also manifested its desire to cease operations by filing a notice of lockout.
But through the efforts of National Conciliation and Mediation Board Director Isidro Cepeda and conciliator-mediator Arturo Kerulf, an agreement was reached to keep Bomedco open, a statement said.
Last Sept. 11, a collective bargaining agreement was signed by Associated Labor Unions-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines area vice president Michael Mendoza, Bomedco legal counsel Julius Neri, Bomedco president Alfred Acopan, and officials of the Bogo-Medellin Milling Co. Inc. Employees Union-ALU.
Milling operations for crop year 2004-2005 can, therefore, begin on the second week of November, the statement said.
