Are managerial employees allowed to join labor organizations?

Managerial employees are strictly prohibited from participating in any labor organization activities. They are entirely ineligible to join, assist, or form any labor organization within the enterprise. This prohibition ensures that there is no conflict of interest between core management duties and union membership. The exclusion of these employees is legally mandated by Article 255 Labor Code of the Philippines to maintain clear boundaries in labor relations. “ART. 255. Ineligibility of Managerial Employees to Join any Labor Organization; Right of Supervisory Employees. – Managerial employees are not eligible to join, assist or form any labor organization.” 01-Jun-26
