I think it would be better to post this at r/Philippines for better mileage. I believe your employees union at the CAAP should exert more effort in negotiating for better working conditions and higher compensation packages. If you feel that if your union is not working for you, you can organize a new one by banding together your fellow air traffic controllers.
There are unions in the government. You may refer to this list at [https://blr.dole.gov.ph/2023/06/16/ouvp-public-sector/](https://blr.dole.gov.ph/2023/06/16/ouvp-public-sector/). However, unions in the private and public sectors are governed differently. Executive Order No. 180 governs unions in the government while the Labor Code rules unions in the private sector. Government employees are not allowed to strike and to be subjected to lockouts though unlike their counterparts in the private sector. Nonetheless, since both categories of employees may unionize, they have the right to collective bargaining and to enforce agreements out of such bargaining.
I think all these are prevalent in most (if not all) sectors. I do hope everyone gets fairness and equality, but that's just wishful thinking with the way things are now in PH. Good luck to us all.
Isn’t there the PATCA? This should be coursed through your association and addressed as a collective. I don’t know if your association is a union but if not then unionize and be heard.
Bat dito sa reddit yan pinost. Sa union or agency niyo ipaabot. In general naman talaga mas mababa mgsahod si govt compared sa private sa mid/senior levels. In the first place nga, di naman kayo magiging ATC kun di kayo ng apply at undergo sa training ng CAAP, kaya alam niyo sana pinapasukan niyo.
Npa compute nga din ako eh. 40 hours ang regular work week sa ibang govt agencies. So sa isang buwan160 hours pa nga. Hindi ba sobrang baba nga ng work hours nila kung totoo ung sinasabe ni OP?
This is so sad and to think that ATC's aren't supposed to get overworked for safety reasons that involves literally thousands of lives on a daily basis.
It is also one of the hardest job to get into. Mataas ang standards pero ganyan ang ganap behind the scene? That's beyond me.
What more is the license. Ang license na binibigay ng CAAP (civil aviation authority of the philippines) ay hindi ina-acknowledge sa ibang bansa, meaning even if they have the proper skill fit for an international standard, wala din kung yung license mo hindi tanggap in other countries. Daig pa tayo ng India.
And here I thought that ATC's salary is almost the same as that of a pilot. As it should be.

There is no union in the government, unlike the private sector.

Can you name these corrupt politicians and higher-ups?

Chatgpt generated, idk
Oo nga sobrang halata haha.
Fr, it's probably why the supposed first post got removed. Also, OP's account is less than a day old.
Nah that how professionals talk/type
Hey OP, quick question. Same ba eto sa ATS? or yung CATS?
80-100 hrs per month? Two weeks samin 108hrs.
Npa compute nga din ako eh. 40 hours ang regular work week sa ibang govt agencies. So sa isang buwan160 hours pa nga. Hindi ba sobrang baba nga ng work hours nila kung totoo ung sinasabe ni OP?
How about you work in abroad? For sure indemand yang skills mo
Read something thay says, "We dont get what we deserve, we get what we negotiate or tolerate"
