    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the right of employees to participate in policy and decision-making processes that affect their rights and interests. Specifically, it outlines that (1) employers should notify employees through unions about policies impacting worker rights and interests, but not matters of day-to-day operations. (2) Participation is limited to issues directly affecting workers, like disciplinary policies, not technical business decisions. (3) While management may still impose its decisions if workers disagree, failing to allow participation renders policies and decisions null and void.

    Participate in policy and decision-making processes


    affecting their rights, interest, and benefits.

    - This right boils down to a matter of courtesy between labor and


    management.

    - These right demands that the employer should notify the employees
    through their labor organization of whatever policies which affects the
    rights and interest of the workers.

    - This does not include, however, matters of operation. In such cases, the
    management does not have to consult the union.

    - Examples of these are:


    - Policies on discipline of workers
    - Decision to terminate employee on accounts of misconduct or
    violation

    - Should be distinguished with the policy-decision of management which


    solely pertains to the technical business operation which is not included
    in the right.

    - Examples:
    - decision of adopting a particular system of production
    - decision to install a particular type of machinery
    - other business decisions which are very technical in nature

    - The constitution states that the right to participate given to workers is


    limited to those which in fact directly affect their right and interest.

    - Thus, if the employer would like to revise a policy involving discipline of


    employees, an order to incorporate new rules and instructions with
    penalties should be undertaken with due notice and participation of the
    workers. They should all together sit down at the negating table and
    tackle each item of revision.

    - However, it is inconsequential if workers and unions will agree or not to


    the proposals of management, the management may still impose its
    decision.

    - SC explains right to participate as simply the right to be afforded


    courtesy by management in line with the goal of promoting smooth labor
    management relation.
    - Meralco vs Quisumbing- the right to participate in policy and decision-
    making processes does not give the labor the right to co-manage the
    business since it is solely management prerogative. However, failure on
    the part of the employer to allow the employers to participate will render
    null and void any decision or policy adopted.

    - It is incumbent upon the employers to give notice to the employer or the


    union representing them to allow them to participate.

    - Participation of workers is optional, however, if they participate, and


    there is clash between the desire of the workers and the policy proposed
    by the management, the decision of the management will prevail because
    right to participate is only a matter of courtesy to employee.

    - The effect of failure by the employer to observe such right, the rules
    promulgated will be considered as ineffective insofar as the workers are
    considered. Employees cannot be held liable if they committed such
    violation.
