Several sessions are prepared to cover concepts on precarious work and the issues that surround it in general and how these affect the identified groups of trade unions, harmonized social protection policy and the efforts at setting up an assessment-based national dialogue towards a social protection. Participants will develop and share their respective plans which will feed into the “National Strategy of Trade Unions to Address Precarious Work in the Philippines”.

Participants will come from the national private and public sector trade unions as well as workers associations in the informal economy who will present a brief report from the Philippine International Labour Conference (ILC) Labour Delegation last June 2015 on the adoption of the ILO Recommendation 204 on Formalizing the Informal Sector and its implications on national law and practice as well as an exposition of current efforts to align national law and practice to ILO Recommendation 204.
