The Employment Relations Promulgation (ERP) Legislation, as well as International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, upholds the fundamental principle that all workers have the right to safe working conditions, which includes transportation to and from the workplace. Article 8 of the ERP emphasizes the employer's responsibility to provide a safe working environment, which encompasses transportation arrangements for late-night workers. Additionally, ILO Convention No. 155 on Occupational Safety and Health affirms the right of workers to protection against hazards and risks during travel to and from work, regardless of the time of day.
Incorporating provisions for transportation support for late-night workers into the constitution would not only promote equality and fairness in the workplace but also ensure compliance with international labor standards and best practices.
By enshrining transportation as a right rather than a privilege, the government can demonstrate its commitment to protecting the rights and safety of all workers.
