MANILA, Philippines — Compressing a workweek to just four days is anti-worker, Defend Job Philippines claimed yesterday. The Compressed Work Week (CWW) bill approved by the Senate will only worsen the current state of workers nationwide, the group added. They also exposed that prior to the CWW bill, there were companies implementing 12-hour work among their workers,” Magsoy added. A majority of young contractual workers, Magsoy noted, will suffer from the extended and flexible labor setup, without the security of tenure in their workplace. Instead of the CWW, Magsoy maintained the Senate should have passed measures favoring national minimum wage, security of tenure and end of contractualization.
