Transport groups to hold strike; govt
ready |
|
Transport groups led by the 200,000-member
Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (PISTON)
and the 35-organization Oil Transport Forum will definitely push
through with their nationally coordinated transport strike on Monday
to push for a stop to oil price increases.
The militant transport groups are also pushing
for the scrapping of the 12 percent expanded value added tax on oil
products “to give economic relief” and the repeal of the Oil
Deregulation Law that allows an increase in oil prices below P1
without the benefit of a public hearing.
