PROTESTING workers of the Pentagon Steel Corporation will storm the Department of Labor and Employment today to condemn the labor department’s collusion with the Company’s management in attacking its workers.
The management of Pentagon Steel Corporation, a factory of nails and cyclone wires located in Barangay Apolonio Samson in Quezon City, illegally retrenched about 150 workers last April 13 over their refusal to sign a waiver barring them from holding protests inside the company’s premises.
For almost every day, Pentagon workers and their supporters have courageously been fighting the PNP and company’s hired goons’ violent attacks against their peaceful and legitimate protests.
Last July 13, a security guard died and two others were injured after being rammed by the company’s delivery truck which, upon orders from the management, attempted to run-over the protesting workers.
The incident was followed by a non-stop hurling of rocks and bottles with muriatic acid from the company’s hired goons and strike-breakers injuring almost a dozen workers.
The level of violence being inflicted upon Pentagon workers is something that has never been seen in recent years.
