Un panneau indiquant "Comment demander une adhésion à l'OWWA".

Comment demander une adhésion à l'OWWA

Un Philippin devient automatiquement membre de l'OWWA lorsqu'il devient un travailleur philippin d'outre-mer (OFW) et qu'il soumet son contrat au département des travailleurs migrants (DMW) pour évaluation. Toutefois, son adhésion n'est valable que pour une certaine période. En outre, certains OFW trouvent du travail alors qu'ils sont déjà à l'étranger et doivent remplir les conditions d'adhésion à l'OWWA en dehors des Philippines. Voici comment demander ou renouveler votre adhésion à l'OWWA.

Canadian flags for filipino canadians

Les héros philippins brandissent le drapeau américain

5 héros philippins américains que nous admirons aujourd'hui

Larry Itliong is one of the main heroes when it comes to Filipino American and civil rights history. Without his efforts, there would be no Delano Grape Strike, and no retirement home for the manongs (older Filipino American men), growing too old for manual labour in America. There would also be no United Farm Workers Union, founded with other Filipino heroes, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta and more. But there are also many other Pinoys who have made waves in the United States, from Olympic medallists to war soldiers, here’s a list of some of our favourite Filipino heroes in America.
