While there was a vague reference to the differences between job contracting (which was legal) and ‘labor-only contracting’ (which was illegal), the Herrera amendments provided all power to the Secretary of Labor to define the regulations on these labor arrangements.
Bagamat tinukoy sa ilalim ng Herrera Law ang kaibhan sa pagitan ng job contracting at ‘labor-only contracting’, ibinigay naman sa Kalihim ng Paggawa ang buong kapangyarihan na itakda ang mga regulasyon para dito.
