Philippine Airlines (PAL) is a profitable airline owned by a billionaire who has fired the airline's entire ground staff (airport and reservations) represented by PALEA and is replacing them with non-unionized contract workers for a third of their salary, working six 8 hour shifts a week.

Right now over 2600 PALEA members and their families are occupying a portion of MNL airport as well as other airports throughout the Philippines fighting for their jobs. They are facing horrible persecution by management hired goons and a corrupt government doing the billionaire of PAL's bidding. Take Action!
