The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has stepped in to prohibit strikes and lockouts as PLDT and the Manggagawa ng Komunikasyon ng Pilipinas (MKP) hash out collective bargaining negotiations.

The labor department assumed jurisdiction over the dispute on Dec. 2, 2024, following the expiration of a seven-day strike ban.

“During this time, both parties are prohibited from conducting a strike, lockout or any concerted activities,” PLDT said in a stock exchange filing on Tuesday.

“PLDT remains committed to concluding the [collective bargaining agreement] negotiations with MKP fairly and swiftly. In the meantime, we assure the public that PLDT shall continue to deliver the best possible service to our subscribers,” it added.
