Migrante Austria celebrates with the entire working class of the world in the commemoration of the134th International Labor Day
Migrante Austria celebrates with the entire working class of the world in the commemoration of the134th International Labor Day. The celebration of the International Labor Day remembers the life and death struggles of the working class throughout the world as well as the victories of these struggles in the fight for better working conditions and a just and lasting peace. While significant victories have been accumulated throughout the decades of struggle such as the lowering of the number of the daily working hours, child labor, gender equality in the workplace, and bargaining rights, among others, much is still to be fought for especially given the worsening crisis of imperialism.

Joining the Revolutionary May Day March today in Berlin!
We echo the statement of the International Women’s Alliance in which a member organisation that people’s rights are not guaranteed under the dominant global system, and women from working classes have shown that these can only be claimed by exercising people’s sovereignty through organized collective actions.
It often means standing up against corporations, elite-led states and confronting state violence. The International Women’s Alliance salutes the working class for its tireless contributions to society – and its relentless struggle against exploitation, imperialist war, and violence against women.
This May 1, we reiterate our call to support the worker’s struggle, to reject neoliberal false solutions, and to continue to fight for a world free of exploitation and corporate domination.

Pahayag ng UMANGAT-MIGRANTE sa paggunita ng Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Manggagawa
Isang taas kamaong pagbati sa lahat ng mga kapwa Migrante at lahat ng mga Manggagawa sa buong mundo. Isang napakahalagang tungkulin ang paggunita sa Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Manggagawa, dahil ito ay simbolo ng pagkilala sa kadakilaan ng Uring Manggagawa na nakikibaka para sa ikabubuti ng Sangkatauhan. Kung wala ang mga manggagawa: ay walang lilikha ng gusali o bahay na ating matitirhan, walang mga damit na ating maisusuot, walang maghahatid sa ating destinasyon, walang mag-aalaga sa atin sa mga ospital, walang magtuturo sa mga paaralan, walang mga makinarya, household appliances at gadgets na gagamitin, at higit sa lahat walang yaman na malilikha para sa Sangkatauhan.
Ito ang kahalagahan nating mga manggagawa, tayo ang lumilikha ng yaman ng bawat bansa subalit patuloy na naghihirap ang mayorya ng mga manggagawa, lalo na sa ating bansa, dahil nakapako sa mababang sahod at karampot na benepisyo ang natatanggap ng mga manggagawa. Hindi rin ginagalang ng Estado at ng kanilang imperyalistang amo ang kanilang mga batayang karapatan at mariing sinusupil ang unyon ng mga manggagawa. Sa halip na dinggin ang kanilang mga hinaing ay dahas at pagyurak sa karapatan ng mga Manggagawa ang kanilang ginagawa.
Kaya naman napakahalaga na tayong mga manggagawa ay magkaisa at ipagpatuloy ang laban para sa ikabubuti nating mga manggagawa at ng ating pamilya at para sa Sangkatauhan.
Mabuhay ang Uring Manggagawa ang Hukbong Mapagpalaya!
Mabuhay ang mga Migrante saan man panig ng Mundo!

Murdered Kuwait OFWs deserve decisive gov’t action
PRESS STATEMENT
January 25, 2023
Migrante International condoles with the family and friends of Jullebee Ranara, the 35-year old Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) and domestic worker whose burned body was found buried in a Kuwaiti desert on Sunday and who is suspected to have been murdered by the son of her employer.
We condemn this yet another murder of our kababayan, another Filipina, in Kuwait. Jullebee’s murder is the latest in a controversial series that includes Joanna Daniela Demafelis (2018), Constancia Lago Dayag (2019), and Jeanelyn Villavende (2019). There are also more than 400 distressed OFWs staying in cramped Philippine government facilities in Kuwait.
The recent deaths and abuse suffered by our kababayans in Kuwait are not isolated incidents and point to conditions in Kuwait and other countries that make our OFWs vulnerable to abuse and even murder.
In light of the successive deaths and abuse of our kababayans in Kuwait, Migrante-International calls on the Philippine government to:
(1) Seek justice for Jullebee. Her murderers must be brought to court and imprisoned.
(2) Order the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait to be more alert and attentive to OFWs’ complaints and cries for help. Expand repatriation and other services for distressed OFWs there.
(3) Probe and punish possible neglect of duty among Philippine officials in Kuwait, as shown by the deplorable conditions suffered by distressed OFWs in the country.
(4) Push for measures that will alleviate the working and living conditions of Filipino domestic workers and OFWs in Kuwait.
(5) In particular, push for reforms in, if not the abolition of, the kafala system, which has meant total employer control over domestic workers and OFWs.
These are all, however, band-aid solutions; they can only do so much to protect our OFWs. Foreign domestic work and labor migration are highly unequal setups that bring with them great risks of abuse for migrant workers, especially those coming from countries with uncaring labor brokerage governments.
As long as the Philippine government and economy remain highly-dependent on migrant Filipinos’ remittances, cases of abuse and even murder of our kababayans will not end. The real solution is an end to the government’s Labor Export Program and the generation of decent jobs within the country which, we believe, are only possible through genuine land reform and national industrialization.
It is clear that President Rodrigo Duterte’s OFW ban to Kuwait in 2018 and his appeal to Arab countries to treat OFWs with dignity and respect are failures. New contracts stipulating one day-off for OFWs per week and their working and sleeping hours are not enough. The Department of Migrant Workers’ thrust of promoting labor export is totally misguided.
It’s time that the Philippine government undertake both immediate measures to protect our domestic workers and OFWs abroad and long-term measures to generate decent jobs in the Philippines.### -
