"We believe in working together, being open and efficient. With Sveriges Larare as our partner and Education International guiding us, NATOW is dedicated to becoming a sustainable organization"

"Safety and inclusion play a vital roles in schools, workplaces, and unions, enabling individuals to prosper and collaborate effectively"

Statement of NATOW Deputy Secretary General Dr. Avelino S. Caraan, Jr. during CHED-TESDA Public Consultation on Proposed IRR of RA 11551, "Labor Education Act"

"The labor empowerment and career counselling conference, which requires all graduating students to attend, is commendable, but it is only a minuscule step. It is insufficient to cover the fundamentals of trade union rights, obligations, and skills to say the least. A half-day conference is not effective enough to truly integrate labor education. Consequently, our graduates will still enter the industry without the necessary knowledge and skills to become responsible and assertive workers"

Then the biggest question is this: Who will monitor if the Private HEIs and SUCs are regularly conducting these? What metrics of success we have to use?"

"Embrace your organization's rich history and commitment to teachers and office workers. You've produced world-class leaders and championed timely advocacies. Cultivate a growth mindset, seek new knowledge, challenge beliefs, and be adaptable to change."

“If the trade unions and labor leaders had noted deterioration of any matter prejudicial to the workers economically or socially, they could have spoken without waiting to be called and be used for purposes other than their own.”
