Do ambulant and itinerant workers have the right to form labor organizations?
Yes, ambulant, intermittent, and itinerant workers are explicitly granted the right to form labor organizations. Self-employed individuals and rural workers who do not have definite employers also share this same privilege. They are allowed to organize primarily for their mutual aid and protection rather than traditional collective bargaining. This specific coverage is outlined under Article 253 Labor Code of the Philippines to protect vulnerable workers. “Ambulant, intermittent and itinerant workers, self-employed people, rural workers and those without any definite employers may form labor organizations for their mutual aid and protection.” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
