Description:
This paper seeks to examine the current issues and concerns on working conditions in select retail establishments in the National Capital Region. A firm-level survey, in which selected workers are interviewed and provided with a self-administered questionnaire, is the methodology used here to achieve sound and reliable findings on the present working conditions in the retail industry. This firm-level survey identifies several problems experienced by workers in the retail industry in the workplace. These problems include non-payment of minimum wages, absence of control in some contracting arrangements, prohibition of organizing a union, and circumvention of worker’s right to security of tenure, among others.
