In this blog post, we'll delve into the stories behind the numbers, exploring what drove these successes and how they positively impacted workers across the Philippines.A Year of Resolutions: DOLE and NCMB's Joint EffortsThe DOLE and NCMB's collaborative efforts resulted in a staggering P2,903,714,020.87 in monetary benefits for 58,212 workers nationwide.

Let's break it down.Case Resolution: The Unsung Heroes of Labor LawAt the heart of these impressive numbers lies the tireless work of DOLE and NCMB case resolution teams. These dedicated professionals worked diligently to mediate labor disputes, ensuring that workers received fair compensation for their labor. From unpaid wages to wrongful termination claims, these teams tackled a wide range of cases with precision and care.The Power of Collective Bargaining: A Force for GoodOne significant factor contributing to this success was the power of collective bargaining.

In 2024, the DOLE and NCMB tackled numerous cases where employers' attempts to encroach on workers' rights led to unfair treatment and exploitation.The Human Side of Labor Law: Stories Behind the StatisticsBehind every statistic is a human story.
