Bontoc, Mt. Province—The
National Conciliation and Mediation Board here has signed a memorandum of
agreement for industrial peace with the provincial government of Mt. Province.
Atty. Leonard Mayaen, governor of Mt. Province and NCMB-CAR
OIC Brenda Rose C. Odsey signed the agreement at the governor’s office in the
provincial capitol on October 6, 2011.
The
agreement came about after consultations conducted by RCMB-CAR staff led by
Supleo Cresencia Pawingi with the provincial executive.
“Although Mt. Province is experiencing industrial peace at the moment, this
should not hinder us to sign an agreement to sustain harmonious
employer-employee relations in the province,” Governor Mayaen said after the
signing of the MOA.
The MOA allows qualified staff of the provincial government to
mediate between parties involved in labor disputes that are not yet filed with
the DOLE or any of its attached agencies.
“The MOA is in pursuit of PNOY’s agenda to reform the labor
arbitration system by streamlining procedures, removing red tape, and restoring
integrity and fairness in the country’s system of labor dispute settlement, of
which RCMB-CAR is committed to support,” OIC Director Odsey also said.
“It is
also in line with NCMB’s programs on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms
like conciliation-mediation, grievance handling, voluntary arbitration and labor
management cooperation,” she added.
RCMB
CAR had earlier forged similar MOAs with three local government units of Benguet
Province.
The
MOAs with La Trinidad and Tuba were signed in 2010, while the MOA with Mankayan
was signed in 2005.
