Bishop Gerardo Alminaza, chairperson of the Church People-Workers Solidarity (CWS), laments the government’s failure to protect the rights of millions of workers, the CBCP News reported.
“Government apathy and inefficiency has failed to protect workers’ safety and health,” CBCP News quoted Alminaza.
“In the guise of ‘reviving the economy’, workers’ safety and lives are put in jeopardy.”
He said record high unemployment rate, rising inflation and lack of income continued to infest the country’s workers.
The San Carlos bishop urged the government to give in to the proposed P100 daily wage subsidy being pushed by labor organizations to augment the workers’ measly income.
