Three lawmakers on Wednesday refiled a measure banning all forms of contractualization and urged President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to make the “anti-endo” bill a priority of the administration.
In House Bill 2173, Gabriela Party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas, Act Teachers Rep. France Castro and Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel said job contracting, subcontracting, direct-hiring of contractuals and use of labor cooperatives are expressly prohibited with hefty fines and imprisonment.
Moreover, the entry of labor contractor has muddled the working relationship between the workers and their companies. According to lawmakers, under the 1974 Labor Code of the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr., father of the current President, job contracting was institutionalized in contrast to “labor-only contracting” which was prohibited under Articles 106 to 109.
Under the Labor Code passed under the Cory Aquino administration , the same provisions allowing job contracting were carried over. It said the employer, contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the employee or employees. No waiver or affidavit of desistance shall prevent the filing of complaints nor derail the proceedings against the employer, contractor and subcontractor.
