Labor groups and trade unions in the country have one message for President Duterte come Labor Day: End contractualization and all forms of fixed term jobs in private and public sector employment.
The labor organizations have expressed opposition against contractualization, which they said offered no security of tenure for workers that would help them cope with the decreasing purchasing power and increase in prices of goods and services.
Alan Tanjusay, spokesperson of the Associated Labor Unions-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines, said the group had received word that the President was willing to hold dialogues with labor leaders and workers in Davao City on May 1.—TINA G. SANTOS
