House Bill 7014 – “Assumption of Jurisdiction Act of 2009”

Published by rudy Date posted on February 1, 2010

An Act Limiting the Power to Assume Jurisdiction over Labor Disputes Involving Essential Services by the President of the Philippines, Amending for this Purpose Article 263 (g) of Presidential Decree No. 442, as Amended, Otherwise Known as the Labor Code of the Philippines

Restricts intervention now by the President only to essential services providing power, tertiary-care hospital and water, the interruption of such services could endanger the life, safety or health of the general public, and hopefully discontinue indiscriminate assumption of cases. It is expected that the high political accountability that goes with every assumption or certification will result to a more judicious exercise of this awesome power.
