President Marcos has met labor leaders who were calling for reforms in the country's labor sector such as workers' rights, living wages, and decent work.

Marcos shared on Tuesday evening, June 3, that he was able to hold a dialogue with labor leaders to ensure that Filipino workers and their rights are protected.

"Nakausap ko ang ating mga labor leaders para tiyakin na mananatiling protektado ang karapatan at kapakanan ng ating mga manggagawa (I spoke with our labor leaders to ensure that the rights and welfare of our workers remain protected)," Marcos said in a post on Facebook.

"Patuloy ang suporta ng gobyerno sa bukas at makabuluhang usapan tungo sa trabahong may dignidad, sahod na sapat, at kinabukasang may pag-asa para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino (The government continues to support open and meaningful dialogue toward jobs with dignity, adequate wages, and a hopeful future for every Filipino family)," he added.

The meeting took place on Tuesday morning at the Goldenberg Mansion inside Malacañang Compound in Manila.

According to the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), they held a dialogue with the President to raise the most urgent labor and employment concerns facing Filipino workers and their families—the need to protect workers’ rights, ensure living wages, and create decent jobs.

In a statement the TUCP thanked the President for meeting them.

“We thank the President for granting this important audience and listening to the voice of labor. We brought forward the necessity of strengthening the right of workers to freely form and join unions not only because it is a fundamental constitutional right guarantee and part and parcel of international labor standards, but also because it is vital to building back better our national economy and unlocking hundreds of thousands of investment and employment opportunities through tariff-free access and free trade agreements,” TUCP Party-list Representative and House Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito Mendoza said.
