At the height of the Garci scandal, the University Council (UC) on July 13, 2005 called for her immediate resignation. And on February 28, 2008, the University Council, in the face of massive corruption in GMA’s administration and unsolved extrajudicial killings, unanimously approved a resolution telling GMA it was time to go. To this day, GMA continues to ignore calls from various sectors of society for her to step down. Today, with 345 days left to her term, GMA and her allies are not preparing to leave office. They are instead preparing to change the Constitution in order to, among others, lift term limits.

Kinilala ang araw na ito bilang internasyunal na araw ng pakikibaka ng anakpawis at pagdarakila sa makasaysayang papel ng uring manggagawa na siyang tagapaglikha ng lahat ng yaman sa mundo. Binabandila ng araw na ito ang kapangyarihang anakpawis sa pamamagitan ng mga pagkilos, demonstrasyon at malalaking pagtitipon sa lahat ng panig ng daigdig. Kaharap ng walang kaparis na tindi ng krisis pang-ekonomyang pandaigdig at kawalan ng trabaho ng milyun-milyong manggagawa ay idineklara ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) ang kasalukuyang Mayo Uno bilang araw ng paglulunsad ng kanilang Job Fair kung saan walumpung libong trabaho daw ang kanilang iaalok.

The AUPAEU is the duly recognized union of rank-and file academic personnel of the university in the whole system. This means that the union is now the sole-and exclusive representative of ALL rank-and-file faculty and Research Extension and Professional staff (REPS) regardless of  union affiliation. With the ratification of the CNA by the majority of the rank-and-file faculty and REPS and its approval by the Board of Regents last January 28, 2009, the agreement is in effect and shall remain in force for a period of five (5) years. As provided for by Article XXII of the CNA, a CNA incentive of ten thousand pesos (P10,000.00) was granted to all eligible faculty and REPS.

The Signing Bonus/Incentive is customarily given as a form of incentive when the Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) between the administration and the recognized union of a government institution is finalized. As for the faculty members and REPS of the university, the negotiation is ongoing between the panels of the UP Administration and the All UP Academic Employees Union. What are the updates on the ongoing negotiations? The negotiations formally began on July 10, 2007 with the signing of the ground rules for the negotiations. Additional academic and health benefits and privileges for the REPS and faculty were given top priority. The negotiation was originally scheduled to last for only four months. But up to this day, more than a year later, no final agreement has been reached. The last negotiation was held on May 26, 2008. What hinders the conclusion of the negotiations? Many agreements have already been rea... http://allupau.multiply.com/journal/item/7/Bakit_Wala_Pang_Signing_Bonus Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:43:09 -0000 Request for grant of centennial bonus to UP Professor Emeriti http://allupau.multiply.com/links/item/12/Request_for_grant_of_centennial_bonus_to_UP_Professor_Emeriti July 14, 2008 DR.

Mantakin mong pampitong taon na ni GMA sa kapangyarihan! Totoo nga talagang mas humahaba ang panahon kapag naiinip at kapag nabubuwisit, lalung-laluna kapag tulad ngayon na nanggagalaiti na ang sambayanan. Walang kahit anumang konswelo de bobo sa mahahabang taon ng pagkapit-tuko ng pekeng pangulo sa pwesto. Patuloy niyang nilulustay sa pag-ja-junket at pagpapasikat ang pondong magagamit sana sa pagmatrikula, pambaon, pampamasahe, pang-aklat ng mga kabataan. Binubulsa ang dapat mapunta sa naghihingalong serbisyong panlipunan at nagpapakasasa sa kinurakot sa kabang-yaman habang naghihigpit ng sinturon tayong wala nang mabiling bigas na karamihan.

We request for a reconsideration of this particular decision by the BOR subject to negotiations between UP and the All UP Academic Employees Union and that future recommendations by the UP Administration to the BOR related to the terms and conditions of UP faculty and REPS be subject to negotiations between the Union and the University prior to BOR presentation.

In a perfect world, academic unions would be unnecessary--the academic enterprise would be richly rewarded given its inestimable extrinsic and intrinsic value to both citizens and society; the academic community would be well-governed; justice would prevail, and there would be no inappropriate or untoward external intrusions upon the academic enterprise. Unfortunately, I don't believe we live in a world where a collegial governance system alone will serve to preserve the interests of the academic community and its members. This provides the most important reason for joining the academic union. Call this the "stake-holder argument:" when social conditions (external and/or internal to the university) fall sufficiently far below those requisite to sustain a true academic community (when th... http://allupau.multiply.com/links/item/8/Albert_Einstein_on_why_he_joined_the_Academic_Union Thu, 5 Jul 2007 08:08:08 -0000
