70 of the 1000+ employees of Dell Pasay, who were forced to resign as part of the company’s transition to Teleperformance, headed to the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) to file a lawsuit against Dell International Services Philippines, Incorporated yesterday.

The 70 former employees claim that the immediate dismissal of the employees is against their employment contracts.

According to Labor Secretary Marianito Roque, the termination of the said employees was not mass retrenchment and has nothing to do with the prevailing global financial crisis.

Dell Philippines is yet to give out a statement regarding the issue as they have not received a copy of the compaints against them yet, says Dell corporate communications head Hector Jimenez.
