Global Campaign to Restructure OWWA -- Let's Make OWWA Serve the Real Needs of Our OFWs
Greetings to our OFWs! Mainit na pagbati mula sa CMA!
The Center for Migrant Advocacy is holding an outreach campaign to
restructure OWWA in order to ensure that OWWA is best serving the
needs of our OFWs, both on-site and returnees. For over a decade, OFWs
have been campaigning for OWWA to restructure its organization. In
2003 OWWA unilaterally promulgated new Omnibus Policies. Since 2004
PMRW, other groups and the OFWs have been battling the OWWA Board in
court, challenging the legal premise of the Omnibus Policies and
trying to make OWWA serve the needs of our OFWs. Now, as the law suit
waits for resolution by the Supreme Court, we are initiating this new
campaign to draft a legislative proposal to replace the Omnibus
Policies and to restructure the OWWA organization.
OWWA is your organization – it was created for your protection, and
holds a fund for your benefit! Therefore, your opinion on OWWA is very
important in deciding what OWWA should be!
Please take 10 minutes to take this survey , and help us to tell
Congress what OFWs really need from OWWA!
Thank you!

answers to the attached document to reviseowwa@gmail.com
