Is a labor union required to bargain collectively?
Bargaining collectively is a mutual obligation binding both the employer and the representing union. If a labor organization is the officially designated representative of the employees, it has a legal duty to bargain. Violating this duty or outright refusing to bargain collectively with the employer is an unfair labor practice. This responsibility is explicitly mandated under Article 260 Labor Code of the Philippines. “(c) To violate the duty, or refuse to bargain collectively with the employer, provided it is the representative of the employees;” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
