Labor groups urge Robredo to include Matula in senatorial slate
Labor leaders, under the banner of ALL 4 Leni, are urging Vice President Leni Robredo to include labor leader Sonny Matula in her Senate slate for the 2022 elections.
The group believes Matula's inclusion would provide inclusive representation for workers and potentially increase Robredo's chances of winning.
ALL 4 Leni supports Robredo's presidential bid and has been engaging with her on a five-point labor agenda.
This agenda includes ending contractualization, establishing a national minimum wage, protecting freedom of association, strengthening the public health system, and ensuring employment for displaced workers.
Despite their request, the labor leaders emphasized that their support for Robredo's candidacy is not conditional on Matula's inclusion in the Senate slate.
Sonny Matula himself stated that while he would be disappointed if not included, it would not hinder their continued support for Robredo's presidential campaign.
