PBSTSEU instituted a Petition for Certification Election to
determine the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for CBA
purposes
The initial hearing of the petition was postponed. Meanwhile,
Federation of Free Workers (FFW) and Associated Labor
Union (ALU) filed their respective petitions for intervention
which was later granted by Med-Arbiter Arturo Gamolo.
Certification election among PICOPs supervisory and
technical staff employees in Surigao was held. The ballot
has 4 choices: (1) PBSTSEU; (2) FFW; (3) ALU; (4) no union.
PICOP objected to the inclusion of some section heads and
supervisors in the list of voters
Because of the reorganization, the positions were
reclassified as managerial employees
Section heads and supervisors, now called section
managers and unit managers head the sections and
independent units comprising each department.
