Can a rank-and-file union and a supervisors’ union join the same federation?
Yes, it is legally permissible for both types of unions to align with the same higher-level organization. A rank-and-file union and a supervisors’ union operating within the identical establishment can choose the same affiliation. They are allowed to join the same federation or national union without violating any representation rules. This cooperative affiliation is explicitly authorized by Article 255 Labor Code of the Philippines to strengthen labor solidarity. “The rank and file union and the supervisors’ union operating within the same establishment may join the same federation or national union.” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
