Are unfair labor practices purely civil matters?
No, unfair labor practices extend significantly beyond mere civil disputes between an employer and employees. They are not only violations of the civil rights of both labor and management. Consequently, they are simultaneously considered criminal offenses against the State itself. This dual nature means they are subject to strict prosecution and punishment as established in Article 258 Labor Code of the Philippines. “Consequently, unfair labor practices are not only violations of the civil rights of both labor and management but are also criminal offenses against the State which shall be subject to prosecution and punishment as herein provided.” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
