The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) is looking to curb the rising number of foreigners working in the country without government permits, claiming that this negatively impacts local industries and the employment situation of Filipinos.
The TUCP said the Senate and the House of Representatives must probe into this issue and come up with measures to address it.
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested 50 Chinese, one British, and one Australian employed at the construction of a coal-fired plant in Davao City last week for working without required Alien Employment Permits.
The BI also deported last year more than 200 foreign workers for the same reason.
TUCP spokesman Alan Tanjusay pointed out that a Congress investigation would benefit not only local workers but migrant workers as well, since it would ensure better working conditions for them. – Solar News Online
