Trade union’s relentless relief operations to super typhoon victim-survivors
The trade union’s relief operations to the victims of super typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan) was implemented vigorously with the National President of the biggest labor federation in the country, the Associated Labor Unions (ALU), an affiliate of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) leading the relief operations.
The ongoing relief operations dubbed as “Operation Tabang” kicked-off November 13 was responsible for the distribution of volumes of relief goods to the towns hardly hit by the super howler in Northern Cebu, such as Medellin, Bogo and Daanbantayan. Likewise, typhoon stricken areas in Leyte such as Ormoc and Baybay cities and the towns of Hilongos and Albuera were also visited by the union officials and were recipients of volumes of re-packed relief goods consisting of three (3) kilos of rice, canned of sardines, packs of noodles, assorted medicines and loaves of bread given by the ALU-TUCP.
