Study Notes
Filipino Workers' Issues
- Filipino workers face various challenges in the workplace, including low wages, lack of company security, job skill mismatch, contractualization, and exploitative labor practices.
- Globalization has led to increased demand for diverse skills, allowing local products to reach global markets.
- Technological advancements like gadgets, computers, and IT programs have transformed workplaces, demanding new skills from workers.
- The cost of labor is often low compared to imported products, leading to price pressures on local businesses.
Workplace Standards
- Workers' rights are addressed through pillars like Employment, Worker's Rights, Social Protection, and Social Dialogue.
- These pillars aim to ensure sustainable jobs, fair compensation, worker protections, and collaborative discussions between employers, employees, and the government.
Industry-Specific Challenges
- Agriculture: Workers face issues like inadequate irrigation, government support during natural disasters, and conversion of agricultural land to residential or commercial purposes.
- Industry: Workers in mining, construction, and electricity sectors experience exploitation through long hours, low wages, and poor working conditions.
