TUCP President Ernesto F. Herrera and delegates to the TUCP Special Convention on March 16, 2012 welcomed a new project on social dialogue with the US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) through the American Center for International Labor Solidarity (Solidarity Center).
Brother Jamie Davis, Solidarity Center Country Program Director for programs in Indonesia and the Philippines, said in his letter, “xxx I am pleased that the Special Convention is the launching ground of a new collaborative project to be implemented by the TUCP and the Solidarity Center entitled “Strengthening Social Dialogue to Promote Freedom of Association, Collective Bargaining and Workers Rights in the Philippines. It is our hope that this project signals a new and revitalized partnership between our two labor movements.”
The Convention watched a presentation on the scope and activities in the project as part of the launching. The project will build trade union capacity and support freedom of association (FOA) monitors in economic zones and BPO companies; do research on FOA practices in workplaces; file test cases to help improve labor laws and their implementation; and produce and disseminate education and information materials. The project will run through 2013
