American and other foreign investors are bothered by reports of widespread labor standard violations in the Philippines and may pull out their capital from the country, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) warned yesterday.
The country’s largest labor union protested yesterday a new government policy in Singapore depriving more than 82,000 foreign maids, among them Filipinas, of a weekly day off.
The Philippines isn’t building enough office space to meet demand from call centers and other outsourcing companies, Colliers International Property Consultants Inc. said.
WOMEN who work at night, like those employed in call centers, could be prone to breast cancer and menstrual problems, according to an Institute for Occupation Health and Safety Development official.
