ACT Teachers Representative France Castro dared the administration of Marcos Jr. to regularize contractual government employees following Memorandum Circular No. 1 which declared certain positions in different agencies and offices vacant.
“Most contractual workers of the government have been in service for years. It is only right to regularize these workers following Memo Circular No.1 declaring certain positions in different agencies and offices vacant,” Castro said.
ACT Teachers Rep. Castro filed House Bill 204 the Security of Tenure and Civil Service Eligibility for Non-Regular and Regular Employees in Government Act last June 30.
“As of August 31, 2021, according to the Inventory of Government Human Resources, there are 582,378 contracts of service or job order personnel out of the 2,337,802 government employees.
Top agencies with the most number of JOs and COSs include DPWH, DOH, DepEd, DENR and DSWD,” Castro added.
“Habang tumatagal, lalo lamang dumadami at lumalaganap ang kontraktwalisasyon sa loob ng gobyerno. Paano natin aasahan ang mga pribadong kumpanya na itigil ang endo kung mismong gobyerno ay may malaking bahagi sa practice na ito?” Castro stated.
“Labor contractualization is a blatant violation of the worker’s right to security of tenure. Contractual workers do not have security of tenure, have no or lower benefits, no social insurance protection, have no right to self-organization, no promotion opportunities, they have higher withholding taxes, and they often become targets of discrimination at work,” Castro added.
“Ending contractualization was an unfulfilled promise of former President Duterte. We dare President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to spearhead the end of contractualization and regularize contractual workers in government who have been serving for years. Labor contractualization, in all its forms must be stopped and workers must be regularized in both the public and private sector.
Government must spearhead the end of this unjust practice by regularizing all its contractual workers, prohibiting and penalizing the hiring of contractuals, and ensuring the security of tenure of workers in government,” Castro ended.
