Abstract:
The study mainly concerns on the struggle of the working class for a
better working condition amidst the capitalist system. I have tried to
simplify the lamenting picture of the Filipino working class through this
research on the conditions of the workers in PGI Mak-Ban Project Field.
Chapter I, which is the thesis proposal, shows the fundamental
concepts of the study. The chapter also explains the choice of the research
setting and sampling procedure. This also serves as the introduction for the
research and explains the scope and limitation as well as the significance of
the study.
The author began the account of the research in Chapter II, which
explains the general condition of the Philippine working class. Here the
study focuses on the dilemma of the workers considering the abusive and
exploitative domination of capitalists in the country. The demand for decent
wage, biased structural programs and suppression of workers' rights and
welfare were the major issues confronted by the working class not only in
our country but also in other developing countries.
Chapter III deals with the reality of the erratic situation of PGI
\Workers. This chapter shows the management and workers' relationship in
Mak-Ban plant and the role of the labor union in promoting the rights and
welfare of its members.
Chapter IV examines the presentation of data and the analysis about
the research is discussed. Here the opinions and discussions about the
situation of the PGI workers were proven through tables and graphs which is
relevant in understanding their present condition.
The last chapter is the conclusion of the study where I have tried to
compare and associate the general condition of the Filipino workers to the
PGI workers.
Further research and investigation on the condition of the working
class could give sufficient solutions to the issues surrounding the workers.
However, I am hoping that with this study would, somewhat, help the
readers understand the irrevocable situation of the working class under the
supremacy of the capitalist system.
