Call center employees need protection -- Roxas

**Karding** · August 11th, 2005 01:15 AM

employee who works on a graveyard shift or from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. should be given free medical check-ups to ensure fitness for night work, provided with free transportation services from their work site to areas where public transportation is readily available and be allowed to work under compressed or flexible time arrangements.

Di ba bago pa lang sila mag apply alam na nila kung gaano ka-hectic ang schedule ng call centers at may graveyard shift? Sa halip, pumasok pa din sila tapos etong si Sen Roxas eh ipapabalikat sa kumpanya ang dapat na personal na problema ng employee. Kung di mo kaya ng graveyard at sa tingin mo eh maaapektuhan ang kalusugan mo, I suggest looking for another job. Yun nga lang, what other job?!

Like giving the option to the Call Center agent to take a morning shift vs. a graveyard shift.

Kapatid, I bet you lahat sila pipiliin ang most convenient schedule, the morning shift. Kapag nangyari yoon, sino na ang tatao sa graveyard? Hindi sila dapat bigyan ng option since hindi naman sila ang manager na gumagawa ng schedule at nakaka alam kung ilan at saan dapat ilagay ang agent.

teka, wala bang incentives ang graveyard workers? Usually, graveyard workers sa US get paid $3 more per hour. Pero walang provided transportation, ano yan kumpanya ng google.com? :hihihi:

kaya ako i always insist na ihatid ko yung ka-table ko e ehehehehe!

dito lang sa industry na to approved ang Bill ni Sen Roxas

a few months ago, an officemate of theirs went to singapore and got a job there (call center din). then naturally she asked her friends kung gusto ba nila subukan, and they did. I think mga 4 of them passed the interview and good to go na sila (visa and papers nalang processed by the singaporean company)

and since 70% women, 29% gays (1% lang male siguro) sa call centers hehe, somehow may nag sumbong sa boss nila.

the boss terminated them on the spot for breaching contract daw na going to a competitor.

they (the ones going to Sing) wanted to file a complaint, but realized din na walang point to do so since:

1) If they go through with this, they'll be forced to stay here for the case.
2) If they did "win" would they really want to go back to work for the boss who fired them?

So parang wala din.

Nasa Sing na sila, doing well naman.

"breaching contract daw na going to a competitor"
parang mali yata ito, wala kang makukuhang work nito, sa client ang bagsak pag nagkataon.. hehe

sa company namin, meron kami pinirmahan na contract na hindi kami pwede mag-apply sa mga clients namin within 1 year after resignation.. kundi demdanda abot mo hehe, pero so far wala pa naman na-demenda sa mga lumipat

dunno about benefits, pero imho ang pinakaimportante sa night shift people is transportation and security. naikwento ni ma dati that the call center a friend's daughter works in already had two separate incidents of rape nung papauwi ang coworkers nya. the money must be really good, since afaik she'll still working the same shift

siguro dahil mas mature na yung industries na minention mo .. in anycase .. si roxas kasi yung isa sa nagpasok ng bills para mas maluwag yung pag-pasok ng call centers dito sa pinas .. so i'm not surprised na malapit ito sa kanya ..
