For years, unions have complained to the DOLE that employers get the names of officers and members in new unions quickly, allowing unscrupulous employers to bust unions. DOLE has not moved a (dirty) finger to do anything about this.
This med-arbiter in Luzon is infamous for his shenanigans. He delays hearings, keeps decisions waiting. This time he overdid himself. He dismissed a petition for CE (certification election) to choose the exclusive collective bargaining agent in an electronics company on the pretext that the union did not submit one of the required documents.
Despite the (new) labor relations law, despite the watered-down rules issued, and despite DOLE’s oft-repeated commitment to speedy labor justice, a front-line med-arbiter in Southern Luzon continue ‘unintentionally’ delaying releasing decisions on certification elections in enterprises in export processing zones.
