Notice to OFWs in US Military Bases Around the World

The Blas F. Ople Policy Center is the NGO partner of a US-based law firm known as Barnett & Lerner. We would like to extend free legal assistance to Filipino workers who may have suffered work-related injury, psychological trauma, sleep disorders, medical afflictions and aggravated medical conditions. Every US base worker, regardless of age, nationality and gender, is covered by an insurance policy obtained by his or her employer under the US Defense Base Act. Unfortunately, not all of our OFWs employed in US military facilities are aware of their rights and benefits under this Act.

If you are a US military base worker or former base worker and would like to know more about the US Defense Base Act, please contact us at the Blas F. Ople Center through e-mail: blasoplecenter@hotmail.com or call 833-5337/833-9562 and look for Jeffrey/Mark. Thank you!
