MANILA – Labor rights group Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) called for the repeal of IATF Resolution 148-B, which authorizes mandatory vaccination for on-site workers in all establishments, asserting that it is forced and a violation of workers’ right to work and freedom of choice, as well as discrimination against the unvaccinated.
