The Kilusang Mayo Uno strongly condemned PAL's outsourcing scheme. KMU chair Elmer Labog slammed the Aquino regime, saying it has demonstrated its pro-capitalist bias through its decisions favoring PAL owner Lucio Tan. Labog said that if Aquino truly wanted to defend the workers and stop the layoffs, he should not have approved PAL's outsourcing plans on March 25 and again, on August 11.
Mariing kinundena ng Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) ang outsourcing ng PAL. Sinabi ni Elmer Labog, tagapangulo ng KMU na pinatunayan ng rehimeng Aquino na maka-kapitalista ito at pabor kay Lucio Tan na siyang may-ari ng PAL. Kung totoong nais ni Aquino na depensahan ang mga manggagawa at tigilan ang tanggalan ay hindi sana nito sinag-ayunan ang gayong hakbangin ng PAL noong Marso 25 at muli, nitong Agosto 11.
