Court of Industrial Relations
Gonzales, Eleanor Mae N.
BSBA HRDM 4A
CASE 1
ALPAP and PAL were locked in a labor dispute with
ALPAP members staging a strike
CIR issued a return-to-work order several times before
the strikers halted
Two pilots, one of them being Felix Gaston, refused to
take the flights assigned to him which prompted PAL to
FACTS terminate his services
A majority of ALPAP members adopted a resolution
amending its constitution and by-laws allowing any
active member who shall be forced to retire or forced to
resign or otherwise terminated for union activities to
have the option to either continue to be and remain as
an active member in good standing or to resign in
writing
PAL filed an urgent ex parte to enjoin ALPAP members
from proceeding with their en masse
resignation/retirement
Despite a no-work-stoppage order from CIR, a
substantial majority (180) of ALPAP members filed
letters or retirement/resignation with PAL
