Organized labor settles for ‘endo’ compromise

ORGANIZED labor has abandoned its hardline stance calling for the abolition of work contracting and other forms of short-term employment in favor of a win-win formula that will benefit both labor and employers.

A coalition of 49 labor centers, federations and workers’ organizations on Friday said they have recognized the need to allow some forms of contractualization that will assure workers the right to security of tenure.
