Highlighting the provisions that center on the health of employees and the education of their children as well as the efficiency of a performance-based compensation, Zamora said a CBA is deemed successful if it effectively safeguards the interests of both the company and employees, with focus on business sustainability while maintaining a cordial relationship between parties.
The conclusion of the CBA with TMC and the rank-and-file union panel is a two-year agreement that will be effective from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025.
