Is it lawful to interfere with the right to self-organization?
Any form of interference with an employee’s right to organize is strictly prohibited by law. It is unequivocally unlawful for any person to restrain, coerce, or discriminate against workers exercising this fundamental right. Employees must be completely free to engage in lawful concerted activities and form unions without undue influence. This non-abridgment principle is fiercely protected under Article 257 Labor Code of the Philippines to guarantee genuine industrial democracy. “ART. 257. Non-Abridgment of Right to Self-Organization. – It shall be unlawful for any person to restrain, coerce, discriminate against or unduly interfere with employees and workers in their exercise of the right to self-organization.” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
