In a picket rally in front of Dole 10’s regional office yesterday, Wildon Barros, chairman of KMU-NMR said labor secretary Silvestre Bello, III’s Order 168 –– otherwise known as “End of Contractuali-zation” or Endo –– is only good in paper but is “utterly useless in ensuring workers’ job security.”

Department Order 168 is aimed at ending the contractualization hiring scheme of employees in the private sector.

Walay pulos. Dili kini ang tubag sa pag-tapos sa kontraktwali-sasyon sa mga empleya-do,” said Barros.

Barros said the labor department should instead order “mother” companies to regularize all their contractual workers and to not regularize the workers at the labor agency level only.

Dili Endo ang tuyo ni  Sec. Bello sa iyang department order, kon dili iya    lang gi-affirm nga na-a gyud diay contractualiza-tion,” Barros pointed out.

Barros said if the government is really serious in ending contractualization it could do it without the order.

Ang nahitabo anang order ni Bello nga iegular ang mga empleyado didto   sa labor agency nga nag-hire kanila dili kami mosugot ana kay ang among gusto nga ang mga   empleyado,  iegular  gyud  didto sa ilang mother company dili agency,” Barros said.
