MODULE INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER I
STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS
1. Concerted Activities.
The right to engage in concerted activities enjoys the protection of the
Constitution and the Labor Code. Section 3, Article XIII of the K Constitution
commands the State, among other things, to guarantee the rights of all workers
to self-organization, collective bargaining and negotiations, and peaceful
concerted activities, including the right to strike in accordance with law. On
the other hand, Article 278(b) of the Labor Code provides that workers shall
have the right to engage in concerted activities for purposes of collective
bargaining or for their mutual benefit and protection.
Concerted activities within the contemplation of the provisions of the
Constitution and the Labor Code referred to above are activities that the
workers perform in concert with one another for the purpose of securing better
terms and conditions of employment or for the protection of their collective
interests. They are coercive actions in the form of economic pressure brought
to bear on the owners of business to persuade them to yield to the worker's
demands, whether these be for improved employment benefits or for the
reparation of injuries brought about by harmful acts of the management.
There are three kinds of concerted activities that are more commonly
used by workers, namely: strike-the temporary stoppage of work as a result of
an industrial or labor dispute; picketing – the marching to and fro at the
employer's premises, usually accompanied by a display of placards and other
signs making known the facts in a labor dispute; and-boycott – the concerted
refusal to patronize an employer's goods or services and to persuade others to a
like refusal (Ilaw at Buklod ng Manggagawa v. NLRC, 198 SCRA 586.) However,
only the first two are identified by name in the Labor Code.
Employers have a right to engage in a coercive activity of their own, the
counterpart of strike, which is likewise recognized under Article 278(b) of the
Labor Code. This is known as lockout, which is the temporary refusal of an
employer to furnish work as a result of an industrial or labor dispute.
Strike and lockout are usually seen as results of labor disputes,
although they could also be the cause of labor disputes other than those that
gave rise to them. But, more than these, they are also modes of labor dispute
settlement. To illustrate: a labor dispute exists, which constitutes a ground for
a strike or lockout, so either the union declares a strike or the employer
declares a lockout, in the hope that the other party would yield to the pressure
of such action; and if the other party does give in and accept the demand or
proposal of the initiator of the action, and the parties reach an agreement, then
the dispute is solved.

3) A “cooling off” shall be observed by the parties during the applicable notice
period, and the NCMB shall exert efforts to effect a settlement between them
through conciliation and mediation. The parties are under obligation to
participate fully and promptly in the conciliation meetings called by the
NCMB. (Article 278[e]; Section 9, Rule XXII, Book V, Omnibus Rules.)
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
5) The results of the strike or lockout vote must be submitted to the DOLE
(appropriate regional branch of the NCMB) at least seven days before the
intended date of the strike or lockout, subject. to the cooling-off period. (Idem.)
The taking of the strike vote (and, by analogy, the lockout vote) and reporting
the same may be done. during the cooling- off period. (First City Interlink
Corporation v. Confesor, 273 SCRA 124.)
under the same terms and conditions prevailing before the strike or lockout.
(Article 278[g].)
Using the same standard, the Court had earlier also-ruled that the
business of production and publication of telephone directories could not be
described as an industry affecting the national interest. (GTE Directories
Corporation v. Sanchez, 197 SCRA 452.)
In both the PHIMCO and GTE cases, the Supreme Court seem to have
equated the phrase "industry indispensable to the national interest" with such
essential activities as "generation or distribution of energy" or those
undertaken by “banks, hospitals and export-oriented industries," where
strikes and lockouts were prohibited under the original P.D. 823, the labor
relations law that immediately preceded the Labor Code. The indicative list of
vital industries under the said law which, for a certain period, were reflected
in Article 270 of the Labor Code, also included companies engaged in
transportation and communication, those engaged in the production of
essential communities, and schools and colleges. The present law does not
include any such a list.
Consistent with that kind of equation, the Supreme Court has considered
as an industry indispensable to the national interest a company engaged in
the manufacture of food products (Union of Employees v. NLRC, 192 SCRA
414) and an educational institution (Philippine School of Business
Administration v. Noriel, 164 SCRA 402.)
The above ruling appears to have reversed that in the earlier case of
Philippine Airlines v. Secretary of Labor and Employment (193 SCRA 223),
which was to the effect that the Secretary exceeded his jurisdiction when he
restrained the company from taking disciplinary measures against its guilty
employees, saying that all that he could enjoin was the holding of the strikes
but not the company's right to take action against union officers who
participated in the illegal strike and committed illegal acts.
This seeming conflict was reconciled by the Court in the case of St.
Scholastica's College v. Torres (210 SCRA 565), where it said that the ruling in
the PAL case was due to the fact that, in the latter case, the question of
illegality of the strike was not submitted to the Secretary for resolution. As
thus reconciled, the prevailing principle is that before the Secretary may take
cognizance of an issue which is merely incidental to the labor dispute, the
same must be involved in the labor dispute itself or otherwise submitted to
him for resolution.
In the case of certification of the labor dispute to the NLRC. Section 5(b),
Rule IX of the NLRC Rules of Procedure provides that "all cases between the
same parties, except when the certification order specifies the issues
submitted for arbitration, that are already filed or may be filed are relevant to
or proper incidents of the certified case, shall be considered subsumed or
absorbed by the certified case and shall be decided by the Commission, sitting
in the appropriate division," the policy and purpose of certification being to
have "a full and complete settlement or adjudication of all labor disputes
between the parties as well as issues that are relevant to or incidents of the
certified issues." (Section 1, Ibid.)
8) The President of the Philippines may at any time, intervene and assume
jurisdiction over a labor dispute that is causing or likely to cause a strike or
lockout in an industry which is indispensable to the national interest. (Ibid.)
4. Prohibited Activities.
Article 279 prohibits any labor organization or employer from declaring a
strike or lockout without having first bargained collectively under Title VII of
Book V of the Labor Code, or without first having filed the notice required by
Article 278, or without the necessary strike or lockout vote having been
obtained and reported, or after assumption of jurisdiction by the Secretary or
after certification or submission of the dispute to compulsory or voluntary
arbitration, or during the pendency of cases involving the same grounds for the
strike or lockout.
Article 279 also prohibits any employer from having a strike- breaker, or
any person from being employed as such. A strike- breaker, under Article
219(r), means any person who obstructs, impedes, or interferes, through force,
violence, coercion, threat or intimidation, with any peaceful picketing by
employees during any labor controversy affecting wages, hours or conditions of
work or in the exercise of the right of self-organization or collective bargaining.
The same Article likewise prohibits any person engaged in picketing from
committing any act of violence, coercion or intimidation, or obstructing the free
ingress to or egress from the employer's premises for lawful purposes, or
obstructing public thoroughfares, and an public officer or employee, including
officers and personnel of the Armed Forces and of the Police, or any armed
person, from bringing in, introducing or escorting in any manner any
individual who seeks to replace strikers in entering or leaving the premises of
the strike area, or work in place of the strikers. The police are enjoined to keep
out of the picket lines unless actual violence or other criminal acts are
occurring therein; but no public officer is prevented from taking any measure
necessary to maintain peace and order, protect life and property, and/or
enforce the law and legal order.
"Strike area” means the establishment, warehouses, depots, plants or
offices, including the sites or premises used as runaway shops, of the employer
struck against, as well as the immediate vicinity actually used by picketing
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
strikers in moving to and fro before all points of entrance to and exit from said
establishment. (Article 219 [s].)
5. Legality of Strike.
A strike while recognized as a legitimate weapon in the universal struggle
for existence and considered as the most effective instrument for protecting the
right of employees to improve the terms and conditions of their employment,
must be pursued within legal bounds in order to be valid. The right to strike as
a means for the attainment of social justice is never meant to oppress or
destroy the employer. The law provides limits for its exercise. (Association of
Independent Unions in the Philippines v. NLRC, 305 SCRA 219)
The right to strike, like the right to engage in any other concerted
activities to attain their legitimate objectives, i18 guaranteed by the Labor
Code. It may, however, be forbidden or restricted by law o contract. (Ilaw at
Buklod ng Mangagawa v. NLRC, 198 SCRA 586 Consequently, it may safely be
stated, as a general proposition, that a strike is valid and enjoys legal
protection if it is not declared or carried out in violation of any legal or
contractual provision that is intended to limit the exercise of the right to such
concerted activity Conversely, it is illegal if declared or conducted in violation of
an applicable law or agreement.
The law on strike is found in Title VIII and a part of Title IX. both of
Book V of the Labor Code. Different articles therein provide. in the order in
which they occur, the only grounds or purposes for which a strike may be
declared; the procedure to be followed before actually conducting a strike;
when a strike may be enjoined; the unlawful means of carrying out a strike;
and where a strike is prohibited by necessary implication. (Articles 278, 279,
291.)
With respect to contract, the parties to a CBA may include therein alno-
strike clause, which forbids resort by employees to a strike as a means of
settlement of a labor dispute.
Thus, a strike is illegal if declared for an unlawful purpose or without
complying with the procedural requirements; or in defiance of an injunction; or
carried out in an-unlawful manner; or declared in violation of a legal
prohibition; or is contrary to an existing agreement.
1) A strike may be validly declared on two grounds, unfair 1) labor practice
and collective bargaining deadlock. If declared on grounds other than these
two, a strike is illegal. (Pangasinan Workers Union v. Aguas, 150 SCRA
429.) Article 278 (b) specifically prohibits a strike over an inter-union or
intra-union dispute because, in this kind of controversy, there is no dispute
with the employer.
As to lawful purpose, therefore, a strike is either an unfair labor practice or
an economic strike. A ULP strike is one provoked by unfair labor practice
committed by the employer. An economic strike is one that is held to force
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
wage or other economic concessions from the employer which the latter is not
required by law to grant; it takes place after a deadlock is reached in the
collective bargaining negotiations over the said concessions.
A ULP strike is not rendered illegal by the fact that the allegation of unfair
labor practice committed by the employer turned out to be untrue; the
presumption of legality prevails. (Malayang Samahan ng mga Manggagawa sa
M. Greenfield v. Ramos 326 SCRA 428.) What saves the strike from illegality is
the striking union's belief in good faith, warranted by the circumstances, that
the employer committed acts of unfair labor practice against it or its members,
although in fact no ULP was committed. (Shell Oil Worker's Union v. Shell
Company of the Philippines, Ltd., 39 SCRA 289.)
A strike is illegal if declared on trivial, unjust or unreasonable grounds,
which is the case where it was staged at the instance of the union president as
a protest against his supposed dismissal for union activities when the truth
was that he voluntarily resigned (Interwood Employees Association v.
International Hardwood and Veneer Company of the Philippines, 99 SCRA 82);
or where the strike was declared to protest against the rearranging of office
furniture and the changing of seating arrangements done by the management.
(Reliance Surety and Insurance Company, Inc. v. NLRC 193 SCRA 356.)
A strike over a wage distortion dispute is also illegal, not only because it is
not based on either ULP or collective bargaining deadlock, but also because the
Labor Code itself provides, in Article 124, the procedure for resolving such a
dispute. (Ilaw at Buklod ng Manggagawa v. NLRC, 198 SCRA 586.)
A strike for union recognition is illegal where-the question of representation
is pending before the proper forum (Luzon Marine Department v. Roldan. 86
Phil. 507), or if declared by the minority union after losing in a certification
case. (United Restaurant Employees Labor Union v. Torres, 26 SCRA 441.) A
union recognition strike is calculated to compel the employer to recognize one's
union, and not the other contending group, as the employee's collective
bargaining representative to work out a collective bargaining agreement despite
the striking union's doubtful majority status to merit voluntary recognition,
and lack of formal certification as the exclusive bargaining representative in the
bargaining unit. (Association of Independent Unions in the Philippines v.
NLRC, 305 SCRA 219.)
But where the majority status of the union is not in doubt and, in spite
thereof, the company refuses to entertain the union's bargaining demands, the
strike declared by that union on account of such refusal is not illegal, because
the ground for the strike is not simply a rejected demand for union recognition
but refusal to bargain on the part of the company, which constitutes unfair
labor practice (Caltex Filipino Managers and Supervisors Associations y. CIR,
44 SCRA 350.) As observed earlier, the duty to bargain on the part of the
employer arises where the union has satisfied the jurisdictional preconditions
for bargaining collectively. On the other hand, an ecnomic strike is not
rendered illegal by the fact that the striking union's bargaining demands are
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
unreasonable and the company is not. in position to grant the same. (Caltex
Philippines Inc. v. Philippine Labor Organizations-Caltex Chapter, 93 Phil.
295.) Otherwise, a lawful means of seeking better conditions of employment
would in effect be outlawed. The demands, if unreasonable, may be rejected;
after all the duty to bargain collectively does not compel a party to agree to a
proposal or to make any concession. (Article 263.)
2) In requiring a strike notice and cooling-off period, the 2) avowed intent of the
law is to provide an opportunity for mediation and conciliation. Thus, under
Article 278(e), it is the duty of the DOLE “to exert all efforts at mediation and
conciliation to effect a voluntary settlement." The taking and reporting of a
strike vote are necessary to give assurance that the strike was decided upon
by the majority of the members of the union, unlike in the past where many
disastrous strikes were staged upon the mere insistence of minority groups
within the union. (National Federation of Sugar Workers v. Vejera, 114 SCRA
354.)
Consonant with the said objectives, and due to the fact that strikes affect
public interest, the requirements of strike notice, strike vote and report of the
same, and cooling-off period are mandatory and must be complied with. (First
City Interlink Corporation v. Confesor, 272 SCRA 124.) Non-observance of
these requirements renders a strike illegal, (Reliance Security and Insurance
Company v. NLRC, 193 SCRA 365.)
The mere failure of the striking union to serve a copy of its notice of
strike on the employer, coupled with a declaration of a strike on a day set for a
conciliation conference, made the strike illegal. (Filipino Pipe and Foundry, Inc.
v. NLRC, 318 SCRA 68.) A deficiency of one day from the mandatory seven-day
strike ban (referring to the period following the submission of the strike vote
report) is a fatal defect which renders the strike illegal. (CCBPI Postmix
Workers Union v. NLRC(299 SCRA 410.) Also declared illegal was a strike that
was staged without prior submission of the result of the strike vote. (Samahan
ng Manggagawa sa Moldex Products, Inc. v. NLRC, 324 SCRA 242.)
3) The assumption by the Secretary of Labor and Employment of a labor dispute
or his certification of the same to the NLRC for compulsory arbitration under
Article 278(g) has the effect of automatically enjoining the intended or
impending strike. When a strike has already taken place, the assumption or
certification order also operates as a return-to-work order. In either case, an
injunction, prohibitory in the first and mandatory in the second, comes into
effect by operation of law. Defiance thereof has dire consequences for the
offenders.
Mention has been made earlier of the executory nature of an order of
assumption or certification, even during the pendency of a motion for
reconsideration thereof or any question regarding its validity. Such an order
being mandatory in character, any defiance thereof is illegal. (Union of Filipro
Employees v. Nestle Philippines, Inc., 192 SCRA 396.) Such defiance amounts
to violation of an existing injunction.
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
4) Even if the strike is valid because its objective or purpose 4) is lawful, the
strike may still be declared invalid where the means employed are illegal.
(Association of Independent Unions in the Philippines v. NLRC, 305 SCRA 219.)
This is true even where, in addition, all the procedural requirements of the law
have been complied with. This is because, to be valid, a strike must be pursued
within legal bounds. The Constitution itself, in guaranteeing the right to strike,
gives the admonition that it should be "in accordance with law."
In the aforecited AIUP case, the Supreme Court stated that there are
limits for the exercise of the right to strike, among them the prohibited
activities under Article 279, particularly paragraph (e) which says that no
person engaged in picketing shall commit any act of violence, coercion or
intimidation; or obstruct the free ingress to or egress from the employer's
premises for lawful purposes; or obstruct public thoroughfares.
Indeed, the said acts are the only ones among those prohibited under
Article 279 which can be considered for the purpose of declaring a strike illegal
as to the means employed in conducting the same, since they are the only ones
that pertain to strikers or those engaged in picketing. Picketing usually
accompanies a strike.
However, there can be a strike without any picketing because the latter
is not a part of the definition of the former, or a necessary element thereof.
There can also be picketing without a strike if there is no work stoppage and
the picketing is done by employees during non-working hours.
Illegal acts during a strike are mostly associated with picketing, which
refers to the activity of strikers whereby patrols are placed at or near the place
of employment and these patrols employ placards, speech and other means of
communication to make known the existence of a labor dispute, to persuade
other people to cooperate with the strikers by not dealing with the employer
during the pendency of the strike. The means employed are communication
and persuasion. (Moreno, Philippine Law Dictionary; p.702, citation omitted.)
Other authorities describe picketing as a marching to and fro at or near
the employer's premises, usually accompanied by banners and other signs by
which the strikers make known to the public their dispute with the employer. (I
Teller 320, cited in the Fernandez, Labor Relations Law, p. 294.) It is said that
it has to be a marching or moving picket, because what is being exercised is
the pedestrian's right of passage. an unmoving picket across the employer's
gate or on a street is illegal picketing if it effectively obstructs free ingress to
and egress from the employer's premises for lawful purposes or obstructs a
public thoroughfare, in violation of Article 279(e). The prohibition in this
paragraph is directed against persons engaged in picketing because it is in the
conduct thereof that the proscribed acts are most likely to happen. The picket
line, more than the bargaining table, is the true arena of labor management
conflicts.
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
That provision is in consonance with Article 291 of the Labor Code which
states that the terms and conditions of employment of government employees,
including those of government-owned or controlled corporations (with original
charters) shall be governed by the Civil Service Law, rules and regulations. The
law and rules of the Civil Service do not allow strikes.
Is such prohibition sanctioned by the Constitution? It should be
remembered that what the constitution guarantees is the right. to strike in
accordance with law. A reasonable interpretation of the phrase "in accordance
with law," in relation to the right to strike is that the said right may be
exercised only when and where the law allows it and in the manner, and upon
compliance with the procedural requirements, prescribed thereby.
Moreover, in the case of SSS Employees Association v. Court of Appeals
(175 SCRA 686), the Supreme Court ruled that on the basis of the record of the
proceedings of the Constitutional Commission that drafted the 1987
Constitution, the intention was to grant to government employees the right to
form unions, but not the right to strike. The Court stated further that since the
rule, both under the Industrial Peace Act and the Labor Code, is that the terms
and conditions of government employment are fixed by law, government
workers cannot use the same weapons employed by workers in the private
sector to secure concessions from their employer. (Citing Alliance of
Government Workers v. Minister of Labor and Employment, 124 SCRA 1.)
In the case of Jacinto v. Court of Appeals (281 SCRA 657), the Supreme
Court distinguished between the right of public-school teachers, as employees
covered by the Civil Service Law, to assemble peacefully and to petition the
government for a redress of grievances, and absenting themselves from their
schools during regular school days, without proper authority, in order to
participate in a mass protest. The Court said: Had petitioners availed
themselves of their free time – recess, after classes, weekends or holidays -to
dramatize their grievances and to dialogue with the proper authorities within
the bounds of the law, no one – not the Department of Education, Culture and
Sports, the Civil Service Commission or even this Court – could have held them
liable for the valid exercise of their constitutionally guaranteed rights. As it
was, the temporary stoppage of classes resulting from their activity necessarily
disrupted public services, the very evil sought to be forestalled by the
prohibition workers. Their act by its nature was enjoined by the Civil Service
law, rules and regulations, for which they must, therefore, be held responsible.
The Court also ruled that: "“As regards the right to strike, the Constitution
itself qualifies its exercise with the proviso, in 'accordance with law.' This is a
clear manifestation that the State may, by law, regulate the use of that right, or
even deny certain sectors, such right." The strikers were punished with
suspension 407 and ordered reinstated without back wages.
6) It is well-settled that an economic strike declared in 6) violation of a no-strike
clause in the CBA is illegal. An economic strike, it will be recalled, is one
whose purpose is to force wage or other economic concessions from the
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
use of the word “may" in Article 279 (“may be declared to have lost his
employment status") means that the employer is granted by the law the option
of declaring such loss cs employment status.
However, such option cannot be exercised by the employer when the
issues concerning the strike, including the legality thereof. are pending
resolution by the Secretary who had assumed jurisdiction over the dispute,
(PAL v. Brillantes, (280 SCRA 515) It has also been held that where the
supposed infractions of the company's rules and regulations arose from the
employee's participation in a strike, the legality of which is an issue pending
resolution by the NLRC upon complaint by the employer, the latter should
desist from conducting its own investigation, making a declaration of illegality
of the union activity, and dismissing outright the union officers involved.
(PNOC Dockyard and Engineering Corporation v. NLRC, 291 SCRA 231.)
7. Payment of Wages During Strike Period.
The general rule is that strikers are not entitled to their wages during the
period of the strike (J.P. Heilbrown Co. v. National Labor Union, 92 Phil. 575),
regardless of whether it is an economic or a ULP strike. (Consolidated Labor
Association v. Marsman and Co., 11 SCRA 589; Cromwell Employees and
Laborers Association v. CLR, 12 SCRA124). This is because of the age-old rule
governing the relation of labor and capital, cited in the Heilbrown decision,
epitomized in "a fair day's wage for a fair day's labor," and also because a strike
involves a voluntary stoppage of work by the workers, and so, as reasoned out
in Cromwell, their economic loss should not be shifted to the employer.
But there are exceptions to the general rule, such as in the following
situations:
1)Involuntary strikers, such as those who mere discriminatorily
dismissed by the employer and whose dismissal caused the strike (The Insular
Life Assurance Co., Ltd. Employees Association- NATU v. The Insular Life
Assurance Co. Ltd.., 37 SCRA 244) and those who were practically locked out,
or had no alternative but to declare a strike to render aid and protection to
themselves and their unlawfully dismissed companions, because of the
employer's im- proper and oppressive conduct (Davao Free Workers Front v.
CIR, 60 SCRA 408), are entitled to back wages, the first from the day of their
unlawful discharge, and the second from the day they strike.
2) Strike-duration pay is also due the strikers who offered to return to
work but the employer refused to reinstate them or imposed upon their
reinstatement new conditions that discriminated against them for their union
membership or activities. (Cromwell, 12 SCRA124) In such a case, however,
three conditions must be satisfied, namely, that the strike was legal; the offer
to return to work was unconditional; and the strikers were refused
reinstatement. (Philippine marine Officer's Guild v. Compania Maritima, 22
SCRA 1113.)
LABOR RELATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS | MODULE 5
One of the innovative ideas introduced by R.A. 6715 to the labor dispute
settlement machinery is the system of holding referenda to determine
acceptance by the employees of the employer's increased offer in case of a
strike, and by the employer of the employees' reduced demand in case of a
lockout. This system, which is aimed at expediting the settlement of disputes
through a determination of the will of the majority, within 30 days from the
start of the industrial action, is provided in Article 280, which, before the said
amendatory law became effective in 1989, contained the enumeration of
prohibited activities in connection with a strike or lockout.
Chapter II
ASSISTANCE TO LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
1. Education and Research.
The mandatory activities of labor organizations under the Labor Code are
labor education and research. These are the activities referred to in Article
250[p]; Palacol v. Ferrer-Calleja (182 SCRA 710). The rights and conditions of
membership in a labor organization include the right to information on the
provisions of the unions's constitution and by laws, the collective bargaining
agreement, the prevailing labor relations system, and all the members' rights
and obligations under existing labor laws, and giving such information is the
duty of every labor organization and its officers.
CHAPTER III
FOREIGN ACTIVITIES
1. Employment Permit.
Article 284 should be read in relation to Article 40, in connection with
the requirement of employment permit for aliens seeking admission to the
Philippines for employment purposes, which is discussed under Title II,
Book I (supra.)
2. Foreign Activities and Assistance.
The restrictions imposed on foreign activities relative to trade union
activities, and foreign assistance to organizations engaged in the same
activities, stem from the need, in view of the public interest involved and the
national security implications, to protect labor related groups from foreign,
and possibly subversive influence. At the same time, these local
organizations cannot be completely cut off from dealings and contacts with
similar organizations abroad, which is why the prohibitions under Articles
284, 285 and 286 are not absolute.
