BTS: Hi Tony, thanks for joining us. Can you begin by telling us a little about the work you do in the Philippines?
TS: I work on a lot of contract negotiation and precarious work issues. In the Philippines, a huge part of the workforce is on short-term contracts that offer no social security or protection. Employers hire and fire the same worker again and again, or they seek employees provided by labour contractors, in order to avoid any of the responsibilities and costs that come with long-term formal employment.
