Labor Relations is the relationship and interaction of the employer and an employee. More importantly, it is how the employer deals with their employees.
The Presidential Decree No. 442, also known as the Labor Code of the Philippines, has an entire section dedicated to Labor Relations which is Book V. Although Labor Relations may be thought of only Labor Unions, the section of the Labor Code also includes post-employment provisions such as the termination of employment.
The National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC), which is an attached agency of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), is the government agency tasked with handling of unfair labor practices, termination disputes, conditions of employment, prohibited acts made by either labor organization or employer, among others.
