1. Supersonic Build Corp.

employed Greg and Ish in its cement factory and

assigned them the tasks of, among others, directing and supervising rank-and-file
employees. Greg and Ish are required to ensure that such employees obey
company rules and regulations, and recommend to the company's Human
Resources Department any required disciplinary action against erring employees.
There is only one union representing rank-and-file employees. May Leo and Dan
join the union? Explain briefly.

2. Paulo, an engineer, organized a union in Garantisado Construction Corporation

(Garantisado) which has 200 employees. He immediately filed a Petition for
Certification Election, attaching thereto the signatures of 70 employees.
Garantisado vehemently opposed the petition, alleging that 25 signatories are
probationary employees, while 5 are supervisors. It submitted the contracts of the
25 probationary employees and the job description of the supervisors. It argued
that if 30 is deducted from 70, it gives a balance of 40 valid signatures which is
way below the minimum number of 50 signatories needed to meet the alleged
25% requirement. If you are the Director of Labor Relations, will you approve the
holding of a Certification Election. Explain your answer.

3. Heidi, a new-hire of Sterling Corporation (Sterling), was made to join Sterling

Corporation Employees Union (SCEU) in compliance with the union shop provision
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between SCEU and Sterling. At the
request of SCEU, Sterling started deducting union dues from Heidi's salary and
remitting the same to SCEU pursuant to the CBA provisions. Heidi protested,
claiming that she has not authorized the deduction in writing. Is Heidi's claim
valid? Explain briefly.

4. Lita was anticipating the bonus he would receive for 2013. Aside from the 13th
month pay, the company has been awarding him and his other co-employees a
two to three months bonus for the last 10 years. However, because of poor over-
all sales performance for the year, the company unilaterally decided to pay only a
one-month bonus in 2013. Is Lita's employer legally allowed to reduce the bonus?
