Security of Tenure for all urgent but elusive

A measure that grants security of tenure to erstwhile contractual employees has been revived in the 16th Congress after getting swept under the rug the last time out.

There are two versions of the bill which have been filed thus far: House Bill 573 or an Act Strengthening the Security of Tenure of Workers in the Private Sector filed by Reps. Walden Bello and Ibarra Gutierrez of Akbayan party-list and House Bill 124 or Security of Tenure Act of 2013 by Emmeline Aglipay of DIWA party-list.
