150,000 workers march on Labor Day for end to ‘endo’

ABOUT 150,000 workers are expected to join the nationwide Labor Day rally on Tuesday to call on President Rodrigo Duterte to end widespread job contractualization or “endo.”

“This year’s commemoration of Labor Day will be different. It will be a national day of solidarity and action of leaders, members, allies and all citizens who have been frustrated over the injustices committed against workers and the Filipino people and government’s continued inaction and negligence,” labor groups Nagkaisa Labor Coalition (Nagkaisa) and Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) said in a joint statement.
