Please Explain....

why are labor disputes was decided by the supreme court are not required to be conciliated in the barangay?

Your explanation will be will be highly appreciated.

Peace on Earth!

This would defeat the salutary purpose of the Labor Code which mandates that the Labor Arbiters must first conciliate and mediate in order to expeditiously resolve the dispute. To require referral to the Barangay would result to delay in resolving labor disputes.

Labor disputes are the exception to PD 1508. (Montoya vs. Escayo, GR Nos. 82211-12, March 21, 1989) Under Art. 226, motions to dismiss before the Labor Arbiter are only allowed on grounds of lack of jurisdiction, improper venue and bar by prior judgment or prescription or prescription. Hence, failure to resort to barangay conciliation is not a valid ground to defeat the labor case.

thanks for the elaborated response

Ano yan away sa kaptbahay para ipa barangay mo pa??

hindi po, it's between a private employer (individual) and employee. kya nag-tatanong ako kung sakop pa ito ng barangay level?

outside the office or inside the office? baka civil case yan?

Even if its outside workplace but is related to your company, its can be either a civil case or a labor case, For example: you posted a comment on your FB that is pertaining to your company on negative side, your company can file a civil damages against you, then you may be terminated thereafter, you ca file a labor case if there's no due process.

sa tingin ko it's outside the office, pero pano kung kasambahay? will it still be counted as labor dispute? kasi it is still between the employer and employee, d b?

i just wanna know the difference, and makaka-dagdag ito sa kaalaman ko.

Maraming Salamat.
