FACTS:
After some time, they were dismissed alleging that they sold some of their fish-
catch at midsea to the prejudice of private respondent. Consequently, they filed illegal dismissal
case to the DOLE Arbitration Branch. De Guzman said that there was no employer-
employee relationship between them; rather it was a joint venture. After the parties failed to rea
ch an amicable settlement, the Labor Arbiter heard the case and dismissed the cases filed by the
petitioners on finding that it was really a joint venture. NLRC affirmed.
