Permanteng trabaho sa mga Quezon City Hall contractual employees tiniyak ni Defensor

Magandang balita para sa mga contractual employees ng Quezon City hall.

 to ay kasunod ng pangako ni Anakalusugan party list Rep. Michael “Mike” Defensor nna mamadaliin nito ang pagbibigay ng permanenteng katayaun sa mga contractual employees na matagal nang nagseserbisyo sa pinakamalaking lungsod sa bansa.

Aniya, sakaling ito  ang manalo para sa darating na local elections sa lungsod kung saan tumatakbong alkalde si Defensor ay gagawin nito ang lahat para mangyari ang nais nito.

“The Quezon City government’s long-time contractual workers deserve to be regularized so that they can enjoy security of tenure and receive allowances as well as bonuses, including the 13th month pay,” ani Defensor.

“We are absolutely committed to regularizing them. It would be grossly unfair to continue to deprive them of the benefits of permanent employment. In fact, our sense is, the Quezon City government has been generating huge savings every year partly at the expense of long-time contractual employees who should have been regularized far in the past,” paliwanag nito.

Si Defensor, na kandidato bilang alkalde ng Quezon City ay makakatuwang nina dating Senador Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. at Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte Carpio, na tumatakbong pangulo at pangalawang pangulo.

“In Quezon City, we have many local government-employed day care teachers who have been at their jobs for more than 10 years, and yet they are still under service contracts. This is unacceptable,” sabi pa ni Defensor.

“Our day care teachers serve as second parents. They are indispensable to the early development of our children. They and other contractual workers who have been performing essential services for a long time are definitely entitled to permanent status,”” dagdag pa ni Defensor, vice chair ng House committee on welfare of children.

Sa kasalukuyan ang Quezon City government ay mayroong 13,376 contractual workers maliban pa sa 6,000 plantilla position employees.

Sakaling manalo, sa May 9 elections, sinabi ni Defensor at ang running mate nitong si Winnie Castelo, ay tiniyak sa mga contractual employees ng city hall na lahat sila ay mananatili sa kanilang trabaho at masisiyahan sa pinabuting kondisyon sa pagtatrabaho.
