IMF meeting on Toyota in the Philippines

IMF calls for an emergency meeting on March 16 to discuss the difficult
and ongoing dispute at Toyota in the Philippines.

PHILIPPINES: The IMF will host an emergency meeting on the current
dispute at the Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation plant in the
Philippines.
The dispute centres on the company’s failure to restore the rights of
Filipino workers dismissed in 2001 or to recognise the certification of
the Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation Workers’ Association (TMPCWA).

The dispute has now been further complicated by a second certification
election held at the plant on February 16, which has left workers
without representation from any union.

Toyota union representatives from Japan, Thailand, Australia, the UK and
South Africa have been invited to participate in the meeting in Manila
on March 16, 2006.
