With the order, the group said ABS-CBN and SkyCable workers are now part of the 13 million workers with jobs but not working.“We can’t understand if our government officials understand the mandate of the state to protect workers’ full employment and to guarantee the right to security of tenure,” the group said in a statement.
The Labor department said they take strong exceptions to claims that the department has found ABS-CBN compliant with labor laws and standards, and that they approved the seasonal work status for the broadcast firm’s program employees. According to DOLE, there are 67 pending cases against the company in the National Labor Relations Commission and the various courts.
