NATIONAL FEDERATION OF LABOR UNION (NAFLU) AND TERESITA LORENZO, ET AL., petitioners, vs. HON. MINISTER BLAS OPLE, as Minister of Labor and Employment; LAWMAN INDUSTRIAL/LIBRA GARMENTS/DOLPHIN ENTERPRISES, respondents FACTS: The National Federation of Labor Union (NAFLU) filed a request for conciliation before the Bureau of Labor Relations requesting for the intervention in its dispute with management involving certain money claims, refusal to conclude a collective agreement after such has been negotiated and run-away shop undertaken by management in order to bust the union. After all efforts to mediate the charges of unfair labor practice and non-payment of certain money claims have failed, the union filed its notice of strike. The company alleging that it had suffered losses announced cessation of operations. Lawman was then changed to Libra Garments manufacturing the same products and later changed again its name to Dolphin Garments. ISSUE: Should Libra/Dolphin Garments be ordered to reinstate petitioners? HELD: Yes. After finding that Lawman Industrial Corporation had transferred its business operations to Libra Garments Enterprises, which later changed its name to Dolphin Garments Enterprises, the public respondent cannot deny reinstatement to the petitioners simply because Lawman Industrial Corporation has ceased its operations. As Libra/Dolphin Garments is but an alter-ego of the old employer, Lawman Industrial, the former must bear the consequences of the latter's unfair acts by reinstating the petitioners to their former positions without loss of seniority rights.
