Section 1, Rule VI.
Petitioner insists that Section 3 of the Implementing
Rules, as amended by Department Order No. 9, violated
Article 234 of the Labor Code when it provided for less
stringent requirements for the creation of a chapter or
local. This Court disagrees.
Article 234 of the Labor Code provides that an
independent labor organization acquires legitimacy
only upon its registration with the BLR:
Any applicant labor organizati on, association or group of unions
or workers shall acquire legal personality and shall be entitled to
the rights and privileges granted by law to legitimate labor
organizations upon issuance of the ce rtificate of registration
based on the following requirements:
(a) Fifty pesos (P50.00) registration fee
(b) The names of its officers, their addresses, the principal
address of the labor organization, the minutes of the
organizational meetings and the list of the workers who
participated in such meetings
(c) The names of all its members comprising at least twenty
percent (20%) of all the employees in the bargaining unit
where it seeks to operate
(d) If the applicant union has been in existence for one or
more years, copies of its annual financial reports and
(e) Four (4) copies of the constitution and bylaws of the
applicant union, minutes of its adoption or ratification,
and the list of the members who participated in it. (Italics
supplied.)
