CBU
Other subjects of CB APPROPRIATE BU
Group of EE w/n given ER unit
Sharing mutual interests
Comprised of all or less than all
of the entire bidy of EE in the
employer unit, or any specific
occupational or geographical
grouping w/n such ER unit
- CB rep should be chosen by
the EE in the appropriate
CBU.
To be considered appropriate, a
BU must effect a grouping of EE
who have substantial, mutual
interests in:
Wages
Hours of work
Working conditions and
BU composed of a mixture of
rank and file EE and
supervisory EE is not
appropriate BU
Reason: no mutuality of interest
between rank and file and
supervisory EE.
supervisory EE
- Functions become alter ego of
management in making and
implementing key decisions at
sub managerial level.
CRITERIA FOR FIXING THE
Will of EE
Community interest
Similarity of employment
status
Prior collective bargaining
history
GLOBE DOCTRINE- express will or
desire of the EE
- Sanctions the holding of a
series of elections, not for the
purpose of determining the CB
agent, but for specific purpose
of permitting the EE in each of
the several categories of
compensation and working
conditions.
COMMUNITY INTEREST RULE
-Known as subsatantial mutual
interest rule
SIMILARITY OF EMPLOYYMENT
STATUS RULE
- Main consideration is the
status of employment
- Requires that non- regular EE
be grouped as one category
and be treated separately from
regular EE.
ONE COMPANY- ONE UNION
POLICY
EXCEPTION:
When supervisory EE organixe
themselves into a BU separate
and distinct from the BU of
rank and file EE
ER unit has to give way to
other BU, like the craft unit,
plant unit, or subdivision
When a certain class of EE are
excluded from the coverage of
the existing BU
SEPARATE BU FOR EVERY
CORPORATION
- 2 corporation cannot be
treated as a single BU even if
their business are related.
Reason: 2 companies are distinct
entities w/ separate juridical
personalities.
- The mere fact that their
business are related and that
some of the EE of one
corporation were originally EE
of the other corporation is not
a justification for disregarding
their separate personalities
- Mere fact that some of the EE
of one corporation are the
same person manning and
providing for auxiliary services
to the other corp and that the
physical plants, offices and
facilities are situated in the
same compound are not
sufficient to justify the piercing
of the corporate veil.
