Memorandum for Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz

We are respectfully submitting the annual report of the National Conciliation and
Mediation Board for 2013.
NCMBs 2013 accomplishments are higlighted by the Boards successful efforts in
further reducing the incidence of work stoppages to only one, made possible through the
combined effects of the Boards three programs on workplace relations enhancement,
voluntary arbitration, and conciliation-mediation. The single strike in 2013 is the lowest
so far in the countrys labor relations history.
This humble performance, our modest contribution to the attainment of the
labor and employment agenda of the present administration, was brought about by
the collective efforts, hard work, and sacrifices of our officials and staff who toiled day
and night, many of whom rendered their services even during Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays, to respond to the needs of our clients.
As the labor relations environment continues to change, the Board remains
steadfast in its resolve to take up the challenge posed by such changes and stays true to
its mission and commitment to preserve the gains achieved in the past years as it looks
forward to a continuation of sustained industrial peace.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to the leadership of the Department
whose all-out support and encouragement have been instrumental in making these
accomplishments possible. Our thanks also go to our social partners and clients whose
cooperation and support enabled us to reach another milestone in the existence of this
Agency.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
THE HIGHLIGHTS
In 2013, the National Conciliation and Mediation Board continued

to sustain the efforts toward maintaining a stable and peaceful industrial
relations climate in the country. It was able to reduce the incidence of work
stoppages to one from three cases in the immediately preceding year through
the provision of timely, efficient and effective conciliation and mediation
services. The lone case of actual strike in 2013 is the lowest since 1988 and
comprises only 0.56% of the 177 total notices of strike/lockouts handled
during the period.
The Board likewise heightened its efforts towards the promotion
of bipartite plant level cooperation and dispute resolution mechanisms
resulting in increased number of LMCs facilitated and grievance machineries
operationalized. Its sustained efforts in promoting the Voluntary Arbitration
program also reaped positive results, as seen in the increase in the number of
cases submitted to Voluntary Arbitration.

I. PARTNERSHIP AND LABOR-MANAGEMENT

EMPOWERMENT
A. WORKPLACE COOPERATION AND PARTNERSHIPS (LMCs)
LMC provides a channel of communication
between employees and management, a means
of constructive cooperation between them, and
a forum to study and discuss possible solutions
to mutual problems affecting labor-management
relations.
It is the outcome of a continuing process
of enhancing mutual trust and respect through
information sharing, discussion, consultation and
negotiations as schemes of workers participation
in decision making processes on matters not
covered by collective bargaining agreements. It
also aims to strengthen tripartism and broaden
representation of workers as a tool for attaining
employment goals toward productivity gainsharing and competitiveness.
LMCs help reduce the rate of grievances,
speed up resolution of issues between labor and
management, and evolve better communication
processes to improve the benefits and welfare of
workers.
The NCMB promotes LMC through its corps
of conciliator-mediators and LMC facilitators in
the regional branches working closely in attending
to issues faced by employees.
Convergence Program
The NCMB has tied up with the NWPC
through a convergence program to promote
productivity in companies through the LMC.
To pursue the objectives of this convergence
program, the NCMB and NWPC joined forces to
conduct the following activities in 2013:
Pilot training of trainers from NCR, ROs
3, and 4A where 8 productivity specialists and 17
NWPC and NCMB personnel were trained; and
Orientation of 95 companies on LMC and
productivity concepts.
The joint efforts resulted in the following
outputs:
Facilitation of 34 LMCs in companies
with existing productivity improvement programs
(PIPs),
Enhancement of 95 LMCs through
cascading/orientation of basic productivity
concepts, and
Enhancement of 37 LMCs through the
establishment of RTWPB-initiated PIPs.
In 2013, the Board thru its appropriate

regional branches was able to facilitate 285
LMCs (98 in organized establishments and 187
in unorganized companies). The 285 new LMCs
are 19% more than the 231 LMCs facilitated in
2012. Also, the Board strengthened 1,087 existing
LMCs, 649 of which are organized establishments
and 438 are unorganized companies. The 285
new LMCs brought to 2, 349 the total number of
LMCs existing as of December 31, 2013.
13
In March 2013, the Board launched the 2013 Search for Outstanding LMC Awards for Industrial Peace. The Search is a biennial
activity being undertaken by the Board since 1998 to accord due recognition to companies with well established LMC and partnership
mechanisms that have resulted in increased productivity, improved workers job satisfaction, and enhanced business performance.
The Search aims to expand, reach and nurture the existing strong ties between and among social partners, industry stakeholders,
and organized advocates/practitioners of workplace cooperation and partnership.
The Board joined hands with
the Philippine Labor-Management
Cooperation Practitioners
(PHILAMCOP) to organize the 9th
LMC National Convention. The
event culminated in the awarding
of the winners in the 2013 Search
for Most Outstanding LMC. The
winners, three each from organized
and unorganized establishments
were awarded plaques of recognition
and cash prizes of Php 25, 000 each.
The Board awarded the 2013
Outstanding LMC awards for
Industrial Peace to six grands
winners, eight special awardees, and
23 finalists.

B. WORKPLACE DISPUTE PREVENTION AND SETTLEMENT (GRIEVANCE MACHINERY)

NCMB promotes grievance machineries
to pursue the policy of minimal government
intervention in labor disputes through bipartite
plant-level dispute resolution mechanisms
that aim to leave the resolution of workplace
conflicts to the parties themselves. Unresolved
conflicts are elevated to voluntary arbitration.
In pursuit of this policy, the Board conducts
area-wide seminars and skills training on
grievance handling, conflict management and
joint problem solving processes to help labor
and management settle grievances between
themselves without government or third party
assistance. These seminars and skills training
are also geared towards the operationalization
(in
organized
establishments)
and
institutionalization
(in
unorganized
companies) of grievance machinery that will
process employee grievances at the shop floor.
The program aims to strengthen tripartism
and broaden representation of workers as a
tool for attaining employment goals toward
productivity gain-sharing and competitiveness.
It also promotes the primacy of collective

bargaining and negotiation in the settlement of
disputes through the grievance machinery in
organized and unorganized establishments.
The promotion of grievance handling at
the workplace has made grievance machineries
functional allowing labor disputes to be
addressed at the plant level. Oftentimes when
these happen, only a few of the grievances
manage to reach voluntary arbitration, hence the
decline in VA cases.
In 2013, the Board was able to
operationalize 134 and institutionalize 152
GMs, 18% lower than the 348 GMs targeted
for the year. It also strengthened 1, 069 GMs.
There are 2, 618 existing grievance machineries
(1, 697 in organized establishments and 921 in
unorganized establishments) nationwide as of
December 31, 2013.
The 2013 Best Practices Awards on Best Enterprise Based Dispute Resolution Practices was launched to recognize companies
that have functional and successful plant-level dispute settlement mechanisms.

III. CONCILIATION AND MEDIATION

PROGRAM
NCMB promotes conciliation-mediation
as the preferred mode of resolution of unfair
labor practice and bargaining deadlock issues
raised in cases of actual strikes, notices of strike/
lockout and preventive mediation cases. The
Board offers conciliation-mediation services to
parties involved in notices of strike/lockout and
preventive mediation cases to prevent the same
from maturing into actual work stoppages. If a
work stoppage has already occurred, the NCMB,
thru the conciliator-mediators, continues with
its conciliation and mediation services in an

effort to settle the dispute at the earliest possible
time to minimize if not prevent its adverse
effects to the workers , to the company, and to
the economy.
The
Boards
conciliation-mediation
program is one of the strategies to achieve the
objectives of Philippine Labor and Employment
Plan 2011-2016.
A. ACTUAL STRIKES/LOCKOUTS (AS/L)

The lone strike occurred in

Region 4-A. The other regions were strike and lockout-free during the period, mainly due to functional
workplace conflict prevention and settlement schemes (grievance machineries) and workplace
cooperation and partnership mechanisms (LMCs).
Mandays lost as a result of strike increased by 51% from 797 in 2012 to 1, 200 in 2013.
The Board disposed the actual strike handled during the period to achieve 100% disposition rate.
Overall dispute management rate (or the ratio of the total number of notices of strike/lockout and
preventive mediation cases that did not materialize into actual work stoppage to the total notices of
strike/lockout and preventive mediation cases handled) was computed at 99.85%.
20
The Board disposed the actual strike in only 3 day/s, 3 days faster than it took to dispose actual strike
cases in 2012.
B. NOTICES OF STRIKE/LOCKOUT (NS/L)

The Board docketed 149 new notices
of strike/lockout during the year, 19%
lower than the 184 NS/L cases filed in
2012. The new cases involved 31, 256
workers, decreasing 23% compared to
40, 861 last year.
Of the 149 new cases filed, 97
raised the issue of unfair labor practice,
46 involved deadlock in bargaining
negotiations and 6 had a combination of
both issues.

Monetary benefits resulting from case settlement include some P 749 M in CBA package benefiting
7, 386 workers and P 114M in separation pay and other monetary benefits for 1, 318 workers.
C. PREVENTIVE MEDIATION (PM)

The Board received 452 new
preventive mediation cases from
January 1 to December 31, 2013, 6%
higher than the 428 cases filed a year
ago. Workers involved in the new PM
cases increased by 17%, to 138, 944
from 118, 878 last year. The Board
handled a total of 484 PM cases during
the period.
Of the 452 total cases filed,
385 involved unfair labor practice.
Deadlock in collective bargaining,
mostly on economic issues, was raised
in 61 cases. Six cases raised both ULP
and BD.

It took the Board 29 days to settle a
preventive mediation case in 2013, 2 days faster
than the 31 days it took to resolve PM cases in
2012.
Monetary benefits resulting from case
settlement include some P 385M in CBA
package benefiting 4, 387 workers and P 51M
in separation pay and other monetary benefits
for 5, 946 workers.
D. SINGLE ENTRY APPROACH (SENA)

SENA is a reform measure institutionalized
through Department Order No. 107-10 to effect
a faster, fairer, and less expensive settlement
of labor issues and to prevent such issues
from maturing into actual labor cases. Single
Entry Approach is an option provided by
the Department for workers in the filing of
cases with conciliation as the entry point. If
settlement is not reached within 30 days, the
parties can elevate the issue to the appropriate
offices of the Department.
The implementation of SENA is in pursuit
of item 6 of the 22-point labor and employment
agenda of President Benigno C. Aquino III,
particularly on the need to ensure speedy
dispensation of labor justice. The program
institutionalizes the 30-day mandatory
conciliation-mediation of all labor cases
under a single entry approach that is being
implemented at the regional and provincial
offices of the DOLE, as well as in other offices
and agencies, particularly the NLRC, NCMB,
ECC, POEA and OWWA.
In 2013, the Board received a total of
4, 598 requests for assistance (RFAs) under
the SENA, a sharp increase of 17% from 3, 916
cases received in 2012.
22
Workers involved increased by 7% to 12, 397 this

year from 11, 592 in 2012. The Board handled a
total of 4, 860 SENA cases during the year.
The Board disposed 96% or 4, 688 of the
4, 860 SENA cases handled during the period,
and settled 94% or 4, 556 cases, benefiting 5, 055
workers with Php 331M in restitution benefits.
E. SPEEDY AND EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF

LABOR JUSTICE (SPEED VI)
Project SpeEd VI was implemented
pursuant to Administrative Order No. 60, series
of 2013, to expedite the disposition of labor cases
in the different offices of the Department with the
ultimate goal of achieving zero-backlog. Project
SpeEd VI covered all cases that were pending as
of December 31, 2012. All concerned bureaus
and attached agencies were to dispose 98% of
the cases covered by SpeEd VI by December
31, 2013, without prejudice to cases received
between January 1, 2013 and December 31,
2013 that should be disposed observing the time
prescribed by existing laws and regulations on
case disposition.
Implementation of Project SpeEd is in
pursuit of the policy reforms enunciated in the
22-point labor and employment agenda of the
Aquino Administration, particularly item 6,
which seek to pursue the continuing objective of
ensuring speedy labor justice.
The Board was able to dispose a total of 617
or 78% out of 791 cases under the Project SpeED
VI as of December 31, 2013, broken down as
follows:
- NSL 115 or 78% disposed out of 147 cases
- PM 390 or 92% disposed out of 424 cases
- VA 112 or 51% disposed out of 220 cases
Some 174 cases (32 NS/L, 34 PM and 108
VA) are still pending as of December 31, 2013.
Monetary awards amounting to Php 661M benefiting 16,127 workers were facilitated by
the Board in the settlement of cases enrolled in Project SpeEd VI.
