THE Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) on Tuesday filed a petition for a P480 increase in the daily minimum wage in the Calabarzon region, more than two weeks after it refiled a wage hike petition in the National Capital Region.
In a statement, the TUCP said the purchasing power of P303P400, the daily minimum wage in the provinces near Metro Manila, has been eroded by inflation to about P268-P353, depending on the province.
