Labor group Kilusang Mayo Uno announced nationwide Labor Day protests calling for higher wages, lower prices, and stronger government subsidies amid rising energy costs.
The May 1 mobilizations, joined by allied groups, will include a march in Manila and simultaneous actions in several regions across the country.
KMU chair Jerome Adonis said workers will bring their grievances to Malacañang, while lawmakers noted that new regional wage hikes may be implemented starting June due to inflation pressures.
Meanwhile, the Department of Labor and Employment is set to offer about 165,000 job openings through nationwide Labor Day job fairs.
