Insights by Echo AI
Labor groups and a lawmaker petitioned the Supreme Court to nullify temporary restraining orders (TROs) issued by regional trial courts in Pasig and Navotas, blocking a P85 daily minimum wage increase for Metro Manila workers. They argue that only the National Wages and Productivity Commission, not lower courts, has jurisdiction over wage orders. The dispute, which affects over 1 million workers, comes amid elevated living costs and could delay full wage benefits if prolonged.
