Jinggoy proposes life and accident insurance, retirement benefits for electrical line workers: Senator Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada is pushing for the legislation of an employer-provided package of insurance and other benefits for all line workers in the power industry sector, ensuring them a minimum coverage of as much as P2 million. In his proposed Line Workers Insurance and Benefits Act under Senate Bill No. 2343, Estrada suggests mandating private distribution utilities (PDUs), electric cooperatives (ECs), and transmission or grid operators to provide life and accident or disability insurance, retirement, mortuary, and disability benefits from the time the workers are employed until their separation from the company, either through resignation, termination, or retirement.
