ACCFA vs. Federation of Labor Union

The Federation of Unions filed a complaint against the ACCFA (now known as ACA) for allegedly committing unfair labor practices and violating their collective bargaining agreement. The Court of Industrial Relations ruled in favor of the Unions. However, ACA denied the allegations and questioned the court's jurisdiction. The Supreme Court was tasked with determining whether ACA engages in governmental or proprietary functions. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that ACA engages in governmental functions in implementing land reform programs, so the Unions do not have the right to demand further benefits based on collective bargaining.

ACCFA vs.

Federation of Labor Union


FACTS:

The Federation of Unions and the ACCFA entered in to a collective bargaining agreement.
After a year, the Unions filed a complaint with Court of Industrial Relations against the
ACCFA (Case No. 3450-ULP) for having allegedly committed acts of unfair labor practice,
namely: violation of the collective bargaining agreement in order to discourage the
members of the Unions in the exercise of their right to self-organization, discrimination
against said members in the matter of promotions, and refusal to bargain. The court ruled in
favor of the Unions. However, ACCFA denied the allegations and questioned the jurisdiction
of the said court. ACCFA was named Agricultural Credit Commission after the approval of
the Agricultural Land Reform Code (Republic Act No. 3844). ACA filed a petition for certiorari
with urgent motion to pause the CIR order. As prayed for, the SC ordered the CIR to stay the
execution of its order. In this appeal, the ACA in effect challenges the jurisdiction of the CIR
to entertain the petition of the Unions for certification election on the ground that it (ACA)
is engaged in governmental functions. The Unions join the issue on this single point,
contending that the ACA forms proprietary functions.

ISSUE:

Whether the ACA is engaged in governmental or proprietary functions.

HELD:

Insofar as the fringe benefits already paid are concerned, there is no reason to set aside the
decision of the respondent Court, but that since the respondent Unions have no right to the
certification election sought by them nor, consequently, to bargain collectively with the
petitioner, no further fringe benefits may be demanded on the basis of any collective
bargaining agreement. The implementation of the land reform program of the government
according to Republic Act No. 3844 is most certainly a governmental, not a proprietary,
function; and for that purpose Executive Order No. 75 has placed the ACA under the Land
Reform Project Administration together with the other member agencies, the personnel
complement of all of which are placed in one single pool and made available for assignment
from one agency to another, subject only to Civil Service laws, rules and regulations,
position classification and wage structures.
