A group of Cebuano businessmen are reviving the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (Ecop) Cebu chapter, which had been inactive in the past decade.
“I saw the need and the challenge,” said Jose Ng, vice president for the Visayas of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Ng yesterday led a group of businessmen in the relaunching of ECOP's local chapter, which was last active in 1994.
Ng said Ecop can help Cebu businessmen, who are hit by the global economy crisis, by advising them on how to deal with management and labor-related problems.
Ng said he was challenged to revive Ecop's local chapter after seeing the steady growth of Ecop's two other chapters outside Manila
The Ecop Cebu Chapter has 26 members.
They now share the responsibility with the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which took up the slack left by Ecop local chapter in implementing programs, seminars, awards and lectures with the help of Ecop's national chapter.
Organized in 1975, Ecop, which is a private and non-partisan organization, aims to unify employees and employer's organizations in order to safeguard and enhance employers' interests in all areas of labor-management relations.
One of Ecop Cebu's priorities is to invite more employers to join the group.
Ng said part of the chapter's goal is also to consult with different organizations to make sure that the seminars and forums they'll be organizing are relevant.
Ecop Cebu also plans to implement a local award system, which encourages employers to upgrade their standards to meet standards of the International Labor Organization.
