When is a certification election automatically conducted in an unorganized establishment?
In a company where no union has ever been recognized, the rules for formally starting one are very straightforward. In any establishment where there is currently no certified bargaining agent, the Med-Arbiter shall automatically conduct a certification election. This process is immediately triggered upon the simple filing of a valid petition by any legitimate labor organization. This easy access to organizing is guaranteed under Article 269 Labor Code of the Philippines. “ART. 269. Petitions in Unorganized Establishments. – In any establishment where there is no certified bargaining agent, a certification election shall automatically be conducted by the Med-Arbiter upon the filing of a petition by any legitimate labor organization…” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
