NOT ALL IS LOST. After braving three months of toil and strife, the labor dispute at the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company in Mankayan, Benguet province has been put to rest with the sighning of a Memorandum of Agreement and the Lepanto Employees Union-NAFLU-KMU. For now, the signing of the MOA is a victory for the workers, yet the lessons and gains are far better victories in the course of the strike. The LEU went on strike also in 2003 and had almost all of its demands heeded. The Cordillera Peoples Alliance salutes the 19 union officers for resolutely leading the union in their battle despite brutal attacks from the company and State armed forces, for making the supreme sacrifice of accepting their dismissal from work to save the union membership.
