To quote: “The Center for Trade Union and Human Rights said the results of a two-week survey it conducted with the help of students from the University of the Philippines Manila in June affirmed assertions by labor groups that many firms disregard the eight-hour workday and other workers’ rights.”*

* Prof. Carl Marc Ramota (Dept. of Social Sciences, CAS) sent this. He said that this is the product of UP Manila Political Science majors’ research collaboration with the Center for Trade Union and Human Rights last semester for the Practicum course Political Science 190.
