Marcos deplores ‘contractualization’

Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has deplored the practice of “oppressive contractualization,” the so-called “5-5-5” labor contract, which, according to him, stifles and defeats the constitutional guaranty of security of tenure.

“There is one contractual worker for every three rank-and-file employees among the country’s entire workforce who is underpaid and barred from receiving additional financial benefits on top of his basic pay,” Marcos said on Monday.
