I'm Giancarlo Enrico S. Pozon, a Wushu instructor, investor and Barrister... That's right, Barrister; I graduated from law school and took the Bar Exams, now I'm waiting for the results. I created this blog to make Philippine Law easy to understand for the average person. It's all about free legal advice. There are many law blogs. But the problem is that many of them are written for lawyers and law students. They use words that can't be understood by ordinary people.
Many lawyers, judges and law students consider themselves as superior to most human beings because of their knowledge of the law. It bothers me since the law is supposed to serve society. Since the law is meant to serve society as a whole, it is important that is must be understood by everybody.
This does not mean that we should all become lawyers. It means that although law is a highly specialized profession, the first duty of everybody in this profession is to make the law understandable to all; that's why all these articles are free legal advice.
Like I said, this blog is about law -but it's for the ordinary people, not the lawyers. It's for the ordinary folk so they will know what is good and bad for them, and that making them aware of the law will help us all improve society as a whole. This is free legal advice for everybody!
The constitution allows labor the right to collective bargaining in order to protect workers' rights. The agency whose duty it is to bargain with the employer on the side of the workers is the labor union. The workers who can form labor unions are those who are employed in the following establishments:
1.) Commercial
2.) Industrial
3.) Agricultural
4.) Religious
5.) Charitable
6.) Medical
7.) Educational
It won't matter if establishments 4 to 7 are operating for profit or not.
The mandatory subjects for collective bargaining are the following:
1.) Wages and other types of compensation
2.) Work hours and work days, including night shifts
3.) Holidays and vacations
4.) Bonuses
5.) Pensions and retirement plans
6.) Seniority
7.) Transfers
8.) Lay-offs
9.) Employee workloads
10.) Work rules and regulations
11.) Rental of company houses
12.) Arrangements for union security
