Filipino seamen in Japan face layoffs, says Labor chief Manila Times 3/19/09
Thousands of Filipino seamen working for Japanese shipping companies face downsizing this year, as vessels are laid up because of the sharp fall in world trade, an official said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Japan’s Fujitsu Ltd. announced also on Wednesday that it would cut nearly 2,000 jobs in the Philippines.
Japanese ship owners employing more than 40,000 Filipinos as crew have notified Manila that their operations may be downsized, Labor Secretary Marianito Roque told reporters.
