House panel steps up to provide protection for BPO workers

The House Committee on Labor and Employment directed its Labor Standards Subpanel to consolidate the five measures seeking to provide protection to the workers in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry.

 

During a virtual meeting, the House panel approved the notion calling on the subcommittee to consider all the concerns of all stakeholders on the bills and come up with a consolidated measure.

DIWA partylist Rep. Michael Edgar Aglipay, who presided over the meeting, noted that the bills had been pending since the 13th Congress. He said it is about time for the House to act on the measures that would protect the rights and promote the welfare of the 1.3 million BPO employees.

In addition, Labor and Employment Committee Chairman and 1-PACMAN partylist Rep.
