DoLE names companies that may have been engaged in labor-only contracting

The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) has named the companies that may have been guilty of labor-only contracting.
In a list the agency submitted to the Malacañang on Friday, May 25, and shown to reporters (see attached document) during a press conference on Monday, May 28, the DoLE named the top 20 companies that are “engaged and suspected to be engaged” in contractualization.
DoLE also said that a total of 3,377 companies were engaged in labor-only contracting.The number of total affected workers has risen at 224,852 from 105,000 as initially reported earlier last week.
DoLE Secretary Silvestre H. Bello explained that the purpose of the list is to live up to President Rodrigo R Duterte’s campaign promise. “He’s serious in putting an end to endo and at the same time, putting an end to illegal, unlawful contractal arrangement,” the labor secretary stressed. — Gillian M.
