Philippine Social Institute
The Philippine
Social Institute (PSI) is the education and training arm of the Federation
of Free Workers (FFW). It was established in 1973. The
PSI is committed to workers' education and development. It:
- evolves
as it responds to trade unionism's transformation into a social
movement in this eara of globalization
- embraces
as it extends its services to all sectors: workers, peasants,
professional groups, women, youth, senior citizens, differently-abled,
migrants, refugees, overseas workers, unemployed, underemployed,
organized and unorganized
- empowers
as it pursues education that harnesses the capabilities of various
groups to govern their own affairs
The
PSI has the following goals:
- develop
the abilities and capacities of workers and marginalized sectors
to promote their rights and well-being
- train workers
for socio-political awareness and participation so that they may
be able to articulate and advocate for social and economic reforms
consistent with the FFW vision
- consolidate
and strenthen workers' organizations and other sectors of society
as a means toward renewal and transformation of the FFW into a
trade union-social movement
