The Secretary’s Message

“We should be guided by three principles. First, we should always stand for balance in employee-employer relationships. Second, we should always support the creation of decent work opportunities, knowing fully well that to make rights at work effective in law and in practice, there must, first of all, be decent work. And third, to make the first two principles realizable, we have to recognize and nurture the rights of workers to participate in policy and decision making processes directly affecting them and of employers to reasonable returns on investments and to expansion and growth. With these principles in mind, we should be ready to discharge our functions as enabler for work creation and protector of workers’ rights.“

LABOR SUMMIT. As part of its effort to get the widest participation of workers in deliberating issues on ‘endo’ and other prohibited forms of contractualization, the Department of Labor and Employment finished its nationwide leg of Labor Summit in the last quarter of 2016, with Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III urging the labor organizations to work hand-in-hand with the current Administration in achieving decent work and labor justice.

ADDRESSING WORKERS’ CONCERN. The Labor Summit, aside from tackling the issue of contractualization, generated inputs and positions on other labor sector concerns, particularly on industrial policy and economic roadmap; security of tenure; wage, tax, and price reform; labor rights and standards; migration; informal economy; and women.

The DOLE has embarked on intensive employment facilitation services that harnessed private sector role in employment generation. Toward providing a highly accessible labor market information system, it enhanced the PhilJobNet (PJN) as the national government web-based LMI portal by engaging private sector partners in gathering labot market information; by moving away from only print media to using quad-media including an Android application so that any Filipino jobseeker can access information on in-demand jobs anywhere in the archipelago as long as they have a mobile phone and internet connection; by working with local government units to increase the number of Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs) so that employment facilitation services are available and accessible in many localities; and, by conducting job fairs that bring together jobseekers and employers to a common, local venue to facilitate the on-the-spot hiring of qualified job applicants.

An overarching policy goal of the Administration is to create an environment that will generate enough decent and adequately remunerated work for every Filipino in the country so that no Filipino will have to seek overseas work as a matter of compulsion or necessity.

In the meantime, as long as there are Filipino workers overseas, it is the government’s responsibility to protect them. In line with this, DOLE prioritized the adoption of measures and mechanisms to protect and promote the welfare and interest of overseas Filipino workers at every stage of the migration cycle–from recruitment to deployment to re-integration.

On the recruitment side, the DOLE has re-invigoratedtheinter-agencytaskforceonillegalrecruitment,particularlyintermsofinvestigationandprosecutionoferringrecruitmentagencies,including summary closures.

ENSURE JUST, SIMPLIFIED, AND EXPEDITIOUS RESOLUTION OF ALL LABOR DISPUTES

The DOLE promotes conciliation-mediation in the resolution of unfair labor practices and bargaining deadlocks to prevent notice of strikes/lockout and preventive mediation cases from maturing into actual work stoppages. In case of an actual work stoppage, conciliation-mediation services continue to settle the disputes at the earliest possible time to prevent or minimize its adverse effects on the workers.

Exhaustive conciliation-mediation and DOLE convergence in some cases became the practice where all DOLE offices and attached agencies, especially those under the DOLE Regional Coordinating Council, participate in resolving labor disputes to prevent these from ripening into strikes or lockouts.
