Provide Humane Working Conditions To Employees, President Duterte Told Employers
President Duterte reminded the employers to provide humane working conditions to the employees.
On Friday (May 1, 2020), the country is currently celebrating Labor Day or locally known as Araw ng mga Manggagawa commemorating the hardships of our hardworking countrymen amid the health crisis.
Millions of Filipino workers have been affected by the suspension of business operations due to the implementation of enhanced community quarantine with the aim to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease.
President Rodrigo Duterte also urged the employers and companies to give humane working conditions to the Filipino workers this holiday. He said that businesses have the responsibility to give stable career opportunities to the workers.
Previously, Mr. Duterte promised to end “Endo” (End of Contract) or the hiring of contractual employees but firing them to avoid their regularization. Contractual workers could not avail full benefits unlike regular employees.
The country’s leader also asked for the full commitment of the government to ensure the rights of workers. He also wants Filipino workers to enjoy the fruit of their hard work and labor.
“I thus remind everyone in the business sector of their shared responsibility in improving the lives of our workers by providing them stable career opportunities and humane working conditions,” Duterte said on his statement.
