Prioritizing our workers Know more:
Labor Day greetings to all Filipino workers. The whole nation gives tribute to you for your contributions to our economy and nation building. It is only fitting that we continue to promote workers’ rights and take concrete action to improve their plight and welfare.
Because of the efforts of union members and the united labor force, we are now required to work eight hours per day, five days a week. The rest of the hours in the day are meant to be spent on rest and recreation. And so more than 100 years after that labor union congress, we commemorate Labor Day by honoring the Filipino worker and appreciating his or her sacrifices for family and nation. We also continue to ask the government to approve labor demands such as an increased minimum wage rate and the termination of contractualization .
