Question 13
13. The workers of a government corporation went on a mass leave because of its refusal
to increase their salaries. They invoked Article XIII, Section 3 of the Constitution
which provides that the State “shall guarantee the rights of all workers to self-
organization, collective bargaining and negotiations, and peaceful concerted
activities, including the right to strike in accordance with law[,]” as well as Section
2 of Executive Order No. 180, series of 1987, which provides that “[a]ll government
employees can form, join or assist employees’ organizations of their own choosing
for the furtherance and protection of their interests.” Is the mass leave lawful?
