The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) last week led the organization of a Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (TIPC) that seeks to pursue industrial peace in work sites here, in essence answering part of the 22-point labor agenda of PNoy.
More than 50 employee representatives from private companies including those from manufacturing firms, business process outsourcing (BPOs), as well as health and wellness and hotel, restaurants, and bar establishments.
In an interview, DOLE-CAR OIC assistant regional director Ted Delson said the Tripartite, which is a public-private partnership, aims to pursue industrial peace in the work sites since there is no unionize group here. The TICP will be essential in creating cooperation among workers and employers so that there will be less complaints, problems, even strikes, and lockouts in the workplace.
“Upon the organization of a TIPC, there will be a tripartite body with DOLE representing the government and the TIPC officials which will formulate their own programs and policies, as well as the employers, who will ensure that there will be an industrial peace in the workplace as well as the smooth implementation of government labor and employment programs,” Delson said.
As part of the said activity, participants were given an orientation about TIPC and DOLE’s Phil-job.net program.
Meantime, DOLE-CAR Labor and Employment officer III Lorna Bacolong, explained that industrial peace as well as good governance, labor market flexibility, and social protection are part of the main components of PNoy’s 22-point labor and employment agenda, which is centered on job creation and poverty alleviation.
Baculong explained that the Tripartite will work as part of an information network on labor relations issues and industry update; to monitor implementation and compliance of tripartite instrument, codes of conducts, social accords and international conventions; implementation of (created) action plan; identification of industries with potential growth or likely to experience labor disputes and to assist the resolution of such disputes as well as to help formulate tripartite views, policy and program proposals and recommendations on labor and economic positions on relevant pending bills.
