After a progressive series of negotiations, Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) and MICTSI Supervisor Union – Federation of Democratic Labor Organization (MICTSISU-FDLO) entered into a new five-year collective bargaining agreement last October 28. 

MCT continues to fully trust the capabilities of its people and sees the new agreement as a symbol of how employment relations should be managed for people handlers. 

Characterized by mutual respect, trust and openness, the negotiations were spearheaded by Atty. Gemma M. Gloria, MCT terminal manager, and Vinju Bautista, MICTSISU-FDLO president. Each session was held virtually due to pandemic restrictions.

With the new CBA in place, both parties are expecting a harmonious and productive partnership moving forward.
