Malacañang Palace should drop its indecisive “wishy washy attitude” on the issue of contractualization, Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate of the Bayan Muna party-list said in a statement issued on Monday. “Itigil na sana ng Malacañang ang ‘paasa’ mode nito sa mga manggagawa lalo pa at araw nila bukas,” Zarate said, referring to Labor Day. [Malacañang should stop giving workers false hopes, especially since tomorrow is their day.] ADVERTISEMENT“Malacañang should instead just sign the EO [executive order] drafted by the labor unions or deal with the consequences afterwards,” he added. Zarate noted that Congress could totally ban contractualization by repealing Article 106 of the Labor Code.
