What is the primary purpose of self-organization?
Workers organize primarily to balance power dynamics with their employers during negotiations. The main goal is to engage in collective bargaining through representatives they have personally and freely chosen. Additionally, they have the right to engage in lawful concerted activities for their mutual aid and protection. This foundational purpose is safeguarded under Article 257 Labor Code of the Philippines, subject only to established strike provisions. “Such right shall include the right to form, join, or assist labor organizations for the purpose of collective bargaining through representatives of their own choosing and to engage in lawful concerted activities for the same purpose for their mutual aid and protection, subject to the provisions of Article 264 of this Code.” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
