Concerned Citizen Shares Struggles of Contractual Workers Affected by “Endo”
A concerned citizen touched the hearts of internet users after sharing the struggles of displaced workers due to “Endo”
Recently, a post by a Facebook user named Lawrence caught the attention of many people. In his post, Lawrence shared a conversation with his mother who runs a small food business.
Lawrence said his mother talks to numerous customers because they are regulars at their store. However, his mother suddenly revealed to him that regular customers don’t come to their store as often anymore.
His mom asked the customers why they weren’t coming to their store as often anymore. The customer replied, “Na-Endo.”
This practice of hiring employees for less than the six-month probationary period to avoid providing them with benefits and security of tenure is known as “End of Contract” (ENDO) and is prevalent in some industries in the Philippines.
It has been a subject of debate and controversy, with many workers advocating for better labor practices and regulations to protect their rights.
This revelation highlights the struggles that many workers face, but are often not given attention or recognition. These workers may experience various challenges such as low wages, poor working conditions, lack of benefits, and job insecurity.
Despite these difficulties, their voices are often unheard, and their concerns are not addressed. The story serves as a reminder to pay attention to the problems that workers face and to work towards creating better conditions for them.
Here is the full post:
“Nagtitinda sila Mama ng Pansit tuwing hapon.
Nakwento nila na may regular na bumibili sa kanila ng pansit. Anim na balot, halos araw-araw. Mga manggagawa daw mula sa isang factory ng biskwit. Pero nung mga nakaraang araw, di na sila bumibili.
Kanina bumalik, tinanong ni Mama “Bakit hindi na kayo masyadong dumadaan dito?”. Ang sagot sa kanya, “Na-Endo.”
