The City Government of Davao, through Executive Order (EO) No. 63, Series of 2022, reconstituted the Labor Management Consultative Council (LMCC).
EO 63 was issued by Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte on November 15.
The LMCC composition was first reconstituted on October 18, 2019, through EO 44, Series of 2019.
“There is a need to reconstitute the LMCC in order to maintain the harmonious relationship between the management and the employees, thus, attaining productivity in the bureaucracy,” the EO provides.
City Government of Davao employees were organized into the Davao City Hall Employees Association (Dachea), which has been a duly recognized and a certified collective negotiation agent representing the rank and file in all its negotiations on the terms and conditions in the workplace not otherwise fixed by law.
As a result of negotiations, a Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) was forged between the City Government of Davao and Dachea. The agreement took effect upon its signing on December 10, 2007.
The LMCC was created through EO 14, Series of 2007, to sustain an open line of communication, consultation, and dialogue.
The LMCC shall consist of the city mayor or his duly authorized representative, city administrator, city legal officer, city planning and development officer, Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Appointment and Government Reorganization chairperson, city budget officer, and the human resource management officer as members of the management panel while the labor panel is composed of Dachea president and vice president, and three Dachea members duly endorsed in writing.
A secretariat shall be created to render technical support for the LMCC, which is mandated to discuss, negotiate and mutually agree on the terms and conditions of the CNA; convene once in two months or as the need arises; discuss and mutually agree upon the resolution of any controversy arising from the interpretation and implementation of the agreement (In case of conflict of interpretation and implementation of this Agreement, the Standard Arbitration Procedure shall apply); and discuss and agree on the initiation of any program relative to the enhancement of productivity and fostering of a healthy relationship between the City Government of Davao and Dachea.
EO 63 also provides that each LMCC member shall be authorized to collect and receive honorarium which the Council shall determine under existing guidelines chargeable against the Dachea funds.
