1. Book 5 of the Labor Code of the Philippines

In Book 5 of the labor code of the Philippines, unfair labor practices refer
to actions that violate the rights of either the employees or the employers.
These practices are prohibited because they undermine the principles of
workers' rights, compromise fair and just labor relations, and hinder the
development of a harmonious working environment.
Unfair labor practices can significantly impact the relationship between
employers and employees, leading to conflicts, strikes, or even legal
disputes. Recognizing and addressing unfair labor practices is crucial for
fostering a balanced and productive workplace. By having clear
guidelines and regulations to prevent such practices, the labor code aims
to protect the interests and rights of both parties involved, ensuring a
healthier and more cooperative labor landscape.

2. Book 6 of the Labor Code of the Philippines

The Philippine Labor Code's Book 6 addresses issues related to life after
employment, such as retirement. The standard retirement age is 60 years
old, per the Labor Code. Although employees are permitted to work past
the retirement age, they must be given the choice to do so.

The Labor Code understands the importance of providing protection and

assistance for workers as they make the transition from active
employment to retirement. Retirement is a crucial part of a person's
working life. The average retirement age is set to promote workforce
diversity and give younger generations a chance to find employment. To
ensure that retirees can live out their golden years with financial security
and dignity, adequate retirement planning is essential.
3. Book 7 of the Labor Code of the Philippines

Both final provisions, which consolidate and condense key elements of

the entire labor code, and transitory provisions, which address the
effective implementation and transition to the new labor laws, are found
in Book 7 of the labor code.

New labor laws must be applied correctly, and this is where temporary
provisions come into play. They make it easier to switch over smoothly
from the old regulations to the new ones, preventing confusion and
abrupt changes that might disturb operations and labor practices.
Additionally, final provisions emphasize the significance of preserving
constant and equitable labor relations while serving as a condensed
reference to the fundamental ideas and goals of the labor code.
