Workers' group appreciates gov't's P5-K cash aid, but says it does not address their concerns
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is providing P5,000 financial assistance to workers affected by the Luzon enhanced community quarantine through the COVID-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP).
Labor group Defend Jobs Philippines acknowledges the P5,000 aid but states it does not fully address their core concerns.
The group's unmet demands include a temporary suspension of the 'no work, no pay' policy and a mandate for companies to pay employees their 30-day salary regardless of employment status.
CAMP is designed as a safety net, offering financial support to employees of private companies that implement flexible work arrangements or temporarily close due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
