NOTICE

Sirs/Mesdames :

Please take notice that the Court, First Division, issued a Resolution datedJuly 10, 2019which reads as follows:

"G.R. No. 244751 (Lakas ng Manggagawa sa Everbright-Solidarity of Unions in the Philippines for Empowerment and Reforms (SUPER) Federation, represented by its Union President Teddy Fernandez v. Everbright Net and Twine Manufacturing Corporation, represented by its President Noel Cristopher Ang). — The motion to extend petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 filed by petitioner is GRANTED.

After review, the Court resolves to DENY the petition for failure of petitioner to show any reversible error in the assailed ruling. The Court of Appeals (CA) correctly held that foremen are not rank-and-file employees because they perform supervisory functions. As such, they are ineligible to join a labor organization of rank-and-file employees. Petitioner cannot, therefore, demand from the respondent to check off agency fees from the foremen. HTcADC

WHEREFORE, premises considered, the petition is DENIED. The Decision dated May 23, 2018 and Resolution dated January 28, 2019 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 144674 are hereby AFFIRMED.

SO ORDERED."

Very truly yours,

(SGD.) LIBRADA C. BUENADivision Clerk of Court
