THE Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) has rejected calls to abolish the Regional Wages and Tripartite Boards (RWTBs).

Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma on Wednesday thumbed down calls by some labor groups to abolish the RWTBs and instead let Congress determine the minimum wage through legislation.
