Do individual workers have the right to participate in policy-making?
The law empowers workers to have a significant voice beyond just collective bargaining for wages. Workers possess the distinct right to participate in policy and decision-making processes of the establishment where they are actively employed. This participation is applicable insofar as said processes will directly affect their rights, benefits, and welfare. This right of co-determination is guaranteed under Article 267 Labor Code of the Philippines. “Any provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding, workers shall have the right… to participate in policy and decision-making processes of the establishment where they are employed insofar as said processes will directly affect their rights, benefits and welfare.” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
