The labor alliance in Negros Occidental supports the newly signed Executive Order aimed at ending contractualization practices in employment, a move expected to protect workers' rights.
The Negros Occidental labor alliance has expressed strong support for the recent signing of an Executive Order (EO) by the Philippine government targeting the abolition of contractualization, a labor practice where employees are hired on short-term or temporary contracts without job security or benefits. This development is regarded by the alliance as a significant step towards safeguarding workers’ rights and providing more stable employment opportunities. Contractualization, often criticized for its adverse impact on the welfare of workers, has long been a contentious issue in the Philippines. The EO is expected to impose stricter regulations on labor contracting and encourage the hiring of regular employees, which would grant better benefits, security, and protection under labor laws. Workers and labor groups in Negros Occidental and across the country have lauded this move as it aligns with their calls for fair and dignified employment practices. The implementation of this order will be closely monitored by labor organizations to ensure that employers comply and workers’ rights are upheld.
