Program for the Labor Agenda Group Meeting

Presentation of Antonio Asper of the Federation of Free Workers (FFW): "Towards an Unemployment Insurance Scheme in the Philippines, forging common ground for labor"

Discussion Paper by the Institute for Labor Studies of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE-ILS) on Exploring the Possibilities of a Philippine Unemployment Insurance Scheme (written by Benjamin M. Dalumpines III, DOLE-ILS, July 2009)


Since 2004, FES has been collaborating with an informal grouping of labor organizations called the Labor Agenda Group (i.e., local unions, federations, labor centers, labor NGOs, labor-focused institutes, industrial relations practitioners and scholars) who meet regularly to discuss and understand political, economic, and social issues that impact on labor, employment, growth, rights and development in the country. The Labor Agenda Group was born of a process that is premised on the need for venues where workers' voices are recognized and strengthened in order to come up with integrated policy proposals that balance economic and social concerns. Among the many issues discussed in the meetings are the flexible work or contractualization and how it affects workers, repercussions of the global financial crisis on local employment, review study of the Philippine Labor Code of 1974, revitalization of the trade union movement in the Philippines and the proposed draft bill on the workers in the informal economy. The Labor Agenda Group, now on its fifth year, remains to be a venue and a continuing process to share views and engage issues of mutual concern.
