FACTS:
Petitioner union filed a petition for deadlock in collective bargaining with the Ministry of Labor and Employment. The
parties agreed to submit the petition for deadlock to compulsory arbitration.
Private respondent FUR-TUCP filed a petition for certification election among the rank and file employees of private
respondent company, alleging that: (1) about forty-five percent (45%) of private respondent company's employees had
disaffiliated from petitioner union and joined private respondent union; (2) no election had been held for the past twelve
(12) months; and (3) while petitioner union had been certified as the sole collective bargaining agent, for over a year it
failed to conclude a collective bargaining agreement with private respondent company. Petitioner union filed a motion to
intervene in the petition for certification election filed by private respondent union.
The Acting Med-Arbiter Pacifico V. Militante dismissed the petition for certification election for lack of merit since the
petition is barred by a pending bargaining deadlock.
Private respondent union filed an appeal to the Bureau of Labor Relations, Manila.
The Bureau of Labor Relations set aside the order of the Acting Med-Arbiter and remanded the case for hearing and
reception of evidence.
On May 2, 1983, Honorable Med-Arbiter Demetrio Correa issued an order in LRD Case No. 4293 giving due course to
the petition of private respondent FUR-TUCP and ordering that an election be held within 20 days from receipt of the
order.
