MANILA\u00a0— The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is looking to regularize some 300,000 contractual workers in 2018.<\/p>\n

With this, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III has directed regional offices to require all business establishments in the country to submit a list of their employees and the nature of their employment as well as program of regularization.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have instructed our Undersecretary for Labor Relations to order all our regional offices to require all business establishments throughout the country to submit a list of their employees and the nature of their employment. At the same time, they must submit a program of regularization,\u201d he said in a statement Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our intensified labor inspections and voluntary regularization of collaborating establishments, we are expecting more workers to enjoy stable employment status. As President Duterte has committed, we are pursuing the campaign to stop this pernicious practice with more vigor,\u201d the DOLE chief furthered.<\/p>\n

At present, there are 541 Labor Laws Compliance Officers (LLCOs) who conduct assessment and inspection of around 937,554 small, medium and big business establishments in the country.<\/p>\n

There were also 55 social partners comprised of 45 labor groups, five employers\u2019 groups, and five other organizations who were trained on Labor Laws and Social Legislation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bello said that President Rodrigo Duterte would issue \u201cany time soon\u201d an executive order (EO) that would broaden the prohibition of labor contracting in a wide range of industries and enterprises across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for the meeting of the labor sector with the President anytime this week or next week. During that meeting, we are expecting the President to sign an Executive Order regarding the issue of contractualization,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bello added that the EO, which was drafted by labor groups, was also approved by companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EO was concurred to by management groups. So, maganda ito,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
