Sa kanyang mensahe noong Labor Day, inulit ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang kanyang pangako noong kampanya na isusulong ang mga karapatan ng mga manggagawa, kasama na ang security of tenure.
In his Labor Day message, President Rodrigo Duterte repeated his campaign promise to continue pushing for workers’ rights, including security of tenure. This needs context in view of the president’s veto of a Congress-approved measure prohibiting contractualization.
It was a Marcos decree than introduced the provisions on contracting and subcontracting.
Dalawampu’t dalawang panukala ang tinukoy ng Malacañang na priyoridad, na nais ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ipasa ng ika-18 Kongreso at maging batas. Wala sa listahan ang panukalang magtatapos sa kontraktwalisasyon o “endo,” isang pangako noong kampanya ng Pangulo.
Malacañang has certified as urgent 22 priority measures, which President Rodrigo Duterte wants the 18th Congress to pass into law. Not on the list is the bill ending contractualization or “endo,” a campaign promise of the President.
