Question
Lumina Textiles Co., a private manufacturing company with 120 employees, has a certified bargaining representative for 3 years.

An employee who is a union member attends a local union meeting during his scheduled shift on company premises and is suspended for two days for alleged misconduct. The union files an unfair labor practices complaint with NLRC. Which statement best describes the controlling doctrine and the likely legal posture of management's action under Philippine law?
