NCCP offers prayers for nation's working class
The National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP) offered prayers for the nation's working class on Labor Day, specifically those severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NCCP highlighted that many workers have experienced hunger due to the 'no work, no pay' policy and difficulties in receiving timely relief goods.
Even workers with regular employment have stopped working because of the lockdown measures, with those at the lower economic strata suffering the most.
The organization also pointed out pre-existing issues faced by workers, including low wages, union-busting, red-tagging, and the labor-export policy, which have forced many to leave their families for scarce jobs.
The NCCP's prayer invoked divine mercy and compassion for the working class, recognizing their plight and calling for justice in their labor conditions and wages.
