MANILA, Philippines — A local labor group on Wednesday launched a hotline open daily between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. where workers can anonymously report labor issues related to the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). As part of its "COVID-19 Labor Monitor" campaign, Defend Jobs Philippines is gathering labor concerns such as unlawful work terminations and plant shutdowns apparently linked to COVID-19. The labor group warned employers and the government to uphold the law since it is carefully tracking labor violations during the COVID-19 outbreak.
