In a private manufacturing firm, the employee handbook and the current collective bargaining agreement state: "All employees shall remain members of NPWU as a condition of continued employment; failure to join within 14 days of hire shall result in discharge." A newly hired technician declines to join NPWU. After 16 days, she is served with a discharge notice for non-membership and is asked to present NPWU membership within 7 days. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine governing mandatory membership and the so‑called 'closed shop' provisions in Philippine law. (b) Is the clause enforceable? Explain the governing rule and apply it to the technician's situation. (c) If the technician is terminated for non-membership, what remedy may she pursue and what is the likely outcome?

The clause is not enforceable; however, the employee may be required to participate in union activities during the grace period but cannot be discharged solely for non-membership. The clause is not enforceable; it constitutes a prohibited closed shop. The employee may file a complaint for illegal dismissal and, if she proves non-membership caused the dismissal, she is likely to be reinstated with full back wages. The clause is enforceable if the union dues are collected through a legal agency-shop arrangement; the employee may be required to pay dues but may continue employment, and back dues may be sought. The clause is enforceable only for public sector employees; in the private sector, non-membership cannot be a ground for discharge and the employee should be reinstated.
