Different sectoral groups joined forces to express support to FLOW's cause to investigate the anomalous board resolutions by the COWD Board of Directors related to the questionable BULK WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT between Cagayan de Oro City Water District (COWD) and Rio Verde Water Consortium, Inc. (RVWCI ). These groups find importance in FLOW's cause for protest as a social issue for every water consumer.
UPDATE : Interim General Manager from LWUA ,Engr. Proceso B. Pag-ong on his memo to all COWD employees dated March 25, 2010 reminded everyone to comply with the provisions of Executive Order No. 180 highlighting a provision for unfair labor-management practice on the part of the employees' organization as stated " restraining or coercing any employee to form or join an employees' organization or its activities ; " Who's not complying here and who's being restrained and coerced in joining FLOW's activities ?
The last part of the memo was a cheap attempt of injecting fear among employees who may be unfamiliar with that law as incompletely quoted by Engr. Pag-ong as "Employees who participate in or authorize an unfair labor-management practice shall be held administratively liable for conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service or such other administrative offenses as maybe warranted. " The trick of this memo is that Pag-ong make it appear that this is only a law of prohibition solely for employees by purposely omitting the correct phrase of the provision that states " The heads of offices and other officers of the agency as well as officers and members of an employees' organization, who participate in or authorize an unfair labor-management practice............". Therefore, there's no cause for worry among the employees because this law ,certainly applies to the officers of the agency, especially those who are desperately looking for means of union busting, with Engr. Pag-ong not an exception to this rule.
