AC dad wants CNA incentive for employees released
ANGELES CITY – Opposition Councilor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. on December 3, 2018 declared his support for the city government’s employees bid to get the city government to release the Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) incentive worth P25,000.
In a meeting with the Association of Government Employees for New and Dynamic Angeles City (AGENDA), Lazatin said that he has officially requested Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan through a letter dated December 3, 2018 to convene the Employees’Organization-Management Consultative Committee to review the city’s financial records, which would pave the way for the granting of the CNA incentive.
“My concern is to give our city government employees what they are due,” Lazatin said, “I believe that the best way to do this is for the concerned parties to sit down and explore all the possible options we could take for their CNA incentive.”
According to Lazatin, convening the consultative committee – composed of officers
both as an effort to combat climate change and to protect the ecosystem of the area.
The project is also seen as a way of creating natural barriers for the coastal villages against strong winds and storm surges. The program can also help local fishermen as mangrove trees provide spaces for breeding grounds for fish and other aquatic life. Mangrove forests also help in the balance of marine ecosystems and protection of coastline from erosion.
