Labor Law
Prof. Joselito Guianan Chan
There are eight topics. I am going to discuss five of them. Because I am tasked to discuss also Labor Relations Law. I find this subject the most challenging considering that almost 95% of the cases that reached the Supreme Court involved this topic. Now, the first major topic is FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES. Then, the next topic is RECRUITMENT and PLACEMENT. This concerns recruitment and placement of workers for local and overseas employment. I will not lecture on that matter. I think Oswald and Poquiz will do the lecturing here. The third is an EE Relationship. That is Labor Standards. Fourth is Termination of Employment. I am going to lecture on termination of employment. Then, the next topic E - that is MANAGEMENT PREROGATIVE. That is not found in Labor Code. So we need to discuss lots of jurisprudence there. On Social Legislation, I will not discuss on that one. Then the next topic is labor relations law. Ayan, I will lecture on this topic. And the last is PROCEDURE AND JURISDICTION. But for purposes of discussion, I will change the topic presentation under the syllabus for the very good reason. So I am going to start on fundamental principles and policies. Then the next is Procedure and Jurisdiction, the last topic under the syllabus. Why? Because in the course of our discussion, you will be entering words such as labor arbiter, nlrc, med-arbiter, and so many other labor agencies. Ang problema hindi mo alam kung sino yung mga yon. Unahin natin yun, db. Kahit sa bar exam. Remedial Law is the highest percentage. May lumapit sayong client, attorney, dinissmiss po ako. Illegal dismissal. Walangyayon ah! File tayo sa POEA. Nag-file ka, yung kalaban mo, 1page motion to dismiss. sheet pa nga eh. DISMISSED Pare. Ano dating mo sa client mo? Di mo alam procedure. So after fundamental principles, we will discuss that. PART ONE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES If you look at your syllabus, there are only three Constitutional provisions cited therein. Article II, III, and XIII. Ang medyo magtataka kayo, sa Article II nagstart kaagad sa Section 9. This only means that they are irrelevant to Labor Law. Then Article III, that is Bill of Rights. Article XIII, Section 3 is the most important. That is the protection clause for Labor. Then the Civil Code. Article 1700. Then the Labor Code.
