Philippine Airlines said protesters encamped at the parking lot in front of its inflight center near Naia Terminal 2 have no right to hamper the airlines business by blocking entrances and exits of the facility.
PAL lawyer Clara de Castro said protesting former workers of PAL had been separated from the airline as of October 1.
"While they're contesting their separation from the company, they have no right whatsoever to prevent PAL employees and designated service providers from using the inflight center," she said.
De Castro said PAL's inflight center was home to PAL's cabin services department and the former PAL kitchen, which would be taken over by a new service provider, SkyKitchen Philippines Inc.
De Castro said the group of protesters had set up camp in front of the facility and taken upon themselves to block legitimate PAL employees and vehicles from going in and out of the premises since september 27, or right after the former PAL workers' wildcat strike.
"Apart from the usual heckling and other acts of harassment, the protesters have also set up barricades and an illegal checkpoint," De Castro said.
