It’s PD 442, stupid! Not Herrera

ON CONTRACTUALIZATION

There is nothing in the Herrera Law
that authorizes contractualization.

The fault lies with the martial-law PD 442 Labor Code Article 106,
which was used by DOLE to allow job contracting.
Senator Herrera had no hand in this Presidential Decree
nor in the DOLE regulations.

DOLE Department Order No. 10
allowed contractualization
It cannot be blamed on Senator Herrera.

TUCP vigorously objected to the Order
through the prodding of Senator Herrera.

In fact, the Herrera law RA 6715 passed in 1989
provides eligibility for union membership
for workers from the first day of employment.

Those who accuse Senator Herrera of being responsible for contractualization
probably have not read, or worse does not understand the law,
or relied on people who know no better.

Don’t just believe the propaganda peddled by KMU and other know-nothings.
Read the law, the rules!
