Are parties allowed to take disruptive actions during conciliation proceedings?
The primary goal of conciliation is to foster a calm environment conducive to finding mutual compromises. Therefore, during the conciliation proceedings in the Board, both parties are strictly prohibited from doing any act which may disrupt or impede the early settlement of the disputes. This includes strikes, lockouts, or other hostile actions that undermine the delicate process. This prohibition is codified in Article 261 Labor Code of the Philippines to ensure good faith negotiations. “(d) During the conciliation proceedings in the Board, the parties are prohibited from doing any act which may disrupt or impede the early settlement of the disputes;” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
