ENDING contractualization has been the battle cry of labor groups in the Philippines. To this end, labor organizations have called on President Rodrigo Duterte to issue an executive order “that will prohibit all forms of contractualization and guarantee the security of tenure of all workers.” According to them, any form of contractualization denies workers their fundamental rights to stable employment, living wage, safe working environment, social protection benefits as well as their right to form or join trade unions and participate in collective bargaining.
