3. Doctrine of Necessary Implication

Doctrine of Necessary Implication

While Art. 255 of the Labor Code singles out managerial employees as ineligible to join, assist or form any labor organization, under the doctrine of necessary implication, employees who have access to confidential information relating to the employer’s labor relations are similarly disqualified. This doctrine states that what is implied in a statute is as much a part thereof as that which is expressed [Metrolab Industries, Inc. v. Roldan-Confesor, G.R. No. 108855 (February 28, 1996)].
