Is it a ULP for a union to cause an employer to discriminate against an employee denied union membership?
Yes, a union cannot use the employer as a tool for unjustified retaliation against an individual employee. It is a ULP to cause or attempt to cause an employer to discriminate against an employee who was denied union membership. It is also unlawful to cause the termination of an employee on grounds other than the usual terms and conditions of membership. This protection against arbitrary union actions is stated in Article 260 Labor Code of the Philippines. “(b) To cause or attempt to cause an employer to discriminate against an employee, including discrimination against an employee with respect to whom membership in such organization has been denied or to terminate an employee on any ground other than the usual terms and conditions under which membership or continuation of membership is made available to other members;” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
