Buklod ng Saulog Transit vs Casalla

G.R. No. L-8049 (May 9, 1956)

Facts: Respondents filed a petition for a certification election for the

purpose of determining the sole bargaining representative of the
employees in the Saulog Inc.
President of Buklod filed its answer stating that there is a CBA between
the company and them.

Court rendered judgment directing a certification election be held among

the employees and/or laborers of the Saulog Transit Inc.
It was found that the CBA does not touch in substantial terms the rates of
pay, wages, hours of employment and other conditions of employment of
all the employees in the company but seeks to establish merely a
grievance procedure.

Issue: WON a CBA that is incomplete will constitute a bar to certification

election

Held: No. The agreement being incomplete does not bar a certification
election and even if there is a supplementary agreement, it having been
entered into after filing of the petition for a certification election, the
same cannot and does not bar a certification election.
