PAL vs. NLRC 225 SCRA 301- The policy about workers
participation in policy making was applied by the Supreme Court in ruling that
employees or their union should be allowed to participate in the formulation of
the code of discipline which the employees will be told to observe. In a
Philippine Airlines case the NLRC directed the company to share (with the
union) the prerogative to formulate a Code of Discipline. The company, charging
NLRC with grave abuse of discretion, elevated the case to the Supreme Court.
The Court turned down the employers appeal. It upheld the unions objection to
the implementation of the Code which the management had revised without the
unions participation.

filed whether criminal in nature, pending or otherwise;

Evading the Mandatory subjects of bargaining it is the
duty of the ER and the EEs rep to bargain with each other with
respect to wages, hours of work and other terms and conditions
of employment.. Mandatory Subjects of Bargaining
No Duty to Agree Even on Mandatory Subjects only a duty to
discuss, either party may bargain to an impasse as long as
he bargains in good faith
Non-mandatory Subjects an ER cannot insist to the point of creating an
impasse on the inclusion of non-mandatory subjects even if he acts in
good faith
Bargaining to the Point of Impasse: Not Necessarily Bad Faith the ruling
means that bargaining to the point of deadlock may or may not amount to
bargaining in bad faith depending on whether the insistence refers to a
mandatory or non-mandatory subject of bargaining
Impasse presupposes a reasonable effort at good faith bar.gaining
which despite noble intentions does not conclude in an agreement
between the parties.
Bad faith in bargaining, including refusal to execute the

PAFLU vs. Cloribel, March 28, 1969
16
Voluntary Recognition usu. based on the selection by the
majority of the EEs as the Bargaining rep. for the BU
Under D.O. No. 9, requirements:
1. In unorganized establishment a) within 30 days from
recognition, the ER and union president shall submit to
the Regl office a joint statement attesting to the fact of
voluntary recognition;
2. Proof of posting of the joint statement for 15 days in 2
conspicuous places

date
3) posted in 2 conspicuous places
4) by secret ballot

negotiations with the ER w/in one year and the
negotiation is on-going.
Finally, Art. 255 and 256 are contradictory, the first one
requiring a majority of the EEs in an appropriate BU, while
256 requires only a majority of the valid votes cast, resulting
to a union bargaining with management without the mandate
of the majority of the employees that the union purports to
represent.
Who are entitled to its benefits? Even non-member EEs are entitled to its
benefits otherwise it would result to undue discrimination against non-
members

advance the selection of an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators)
20
A VALID STRIKE can only take place in the presence of and in relation to a labor
dispute between the employer and employees involved.
Protection of Strike:
1. not subject to labor injunction or restraining order
2. EEs may not be discriminated against merely by joining a strike
3. use of strike-breaker is prohibited
4. mere participation does not terminate ER-EE relationship
21
Lawful Purpose: ULP Strike in Good Faith
When ER performs acts which under the circ
umstances, the strikers believed were ULP on the part of
management, although they were not, the court ruled that the strike
cannot be held illegal
Good Faith Strike (FFW vs. PICC, 3/15/82), but it must have
rational basis
22
Liability for Violent Acts no distinction bet. Officers and members
23
Casual employees performs work not usual to the business of the ER
nor is it necessary and desirable; may become regular if after one (1) year
of service he performs work only for that work activity for which he was
hired.
Project employees employment has been fixed for a specific project or
undertaking, the completion or termination of which has been determined
at the time of the engagement of the EE or where the work or service to
be performed is seasonal in nature and the employment is for the duration
of the season.
1. project that is within the regular or usual business of the ER
company but which is distinct and identifiable as such from the
other undertakings of the company. Ex. Construction company
2. project that is not within the regular business of the corporation,
likewise distinct and identifiable as such. Ex. School undertakes
renovation
What makes a project EE regular?
1. there is a continuous rehiring of project employees even after the
cessation of a project;
2. the tasks performed by the alleged project EE are vital, necessary
and indispensable to the usual business or trade of the employer
NOTE: Mercado ruling project EEs do not become regular
although service exceeds one year length of time applies only
to casual EEs
Seasonal employees called to work from time to time, their employment
relationship during off season is never severed but only suspended
Fixed Period Employment 1) contract entered into voluntarily; 2) all
parties stand on equal footing with no moral dominance exercised by the
ER. Regular in 2 senses:
1. the nature of his work is necessary or desirable in the principal
business of the ER;
2. he enjoys security of tenure during the limited time of his
employment
24

are improper, illegal, or unjustified
It may not be arbitrarily asserted in the face of
overwhelming evidence to the contrary
It must be genuine, not a mere afterthought to justify
earlier action taken in bad faith
The employee involved holds a position of trust and
confidence

North Davao Mining Corp. vs. NLRC, Mar. 13, 1996
Justification for Closure ULP
Sale in Good Faith ULP & Successor Employer Doctrine
No law prohibits bona fide sale of a going enterprise
If sale is tinged with bad faith, the law and rulings on ULP

in personam
Merger & Consolidation successor ER principle
applies

No Retroactivity
Maranaw Hotel vs. CA, Nov. 6, 1992
For illegal dismissal cases filed before March 21, 1989,
Mercury Drug ruling still holds
For cases filed on or after March 21, 1989, the Bustamante
ruling is applicable
29
Damages does not accrue from the fact of dismissal but from the
circumstances proved by the EE during the case

fraudulently or in bad faith, act oppressive to labor, done contrary to
morals, good customs or public policy
Exemplary Damages where EE had been harassed by the ER
Indemnity sanctioned to ERs who failed to observe the procedural
requirements
