What happens if differences arise during the initial notice and reply phase of collective bargaining?
Differences in proposals are standard, and the law provides a structured mechanism to address them efficiently. If differences arise based on the initial notice and the subsequent reply, either party may formally request a conference. This conference is designed to bring both sides to the table for direct face-to-face negotiations. Under Article 261 Labor Code of the Philippines, this conference shall begin not later than ten calendar days from the date of request. “(b) Should differences arise on the basis of such notice and reply, either party may request for a conference which shall begin not later than ten (10) calendar days from the date of request;” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
