Exposing ENDO: Labor Abuse and Exploitation on Contractual Workers in the Philippines

Abstract

Article 281 states that workers must be put on a probationary period for 6 months of employment before receiving benefits. ENDO-contracting is the situation where corporations hire workers on 5 to 6-month contracts to avoid paying their workers benefits. This research will be conducted using qualitative data from past research publications, court cases, and interviewing anti-ENDO advocates. The historical summary will explain the origins of this law and how it has progressed into common labor practice. ENDO- contracting disproportionately affects the low-wage workforce and deprives them of regular employee benefits. The lack of these benefits has created poor working conditions and low standards of living for contractual employees. This paper aims to educate readers on labor disparities in the Philippines and offer prospective solutions for policymakers and corporations
