    The document summarizes a Supreme Court case between Feati University and its faculty union. The faculty union organized and demanded collective bargaining negotiations with the university. When the university refused to negotiate, the faculty went on strike. The issues before the court were whether an employee-employer relationship existed between the faculty and university, and if the university was covered by labor laws. The Supreme Court ruled that the university exercises control over the faculty's work, including course assignments and schedules. It also pays the faculty salaries rather than compensating based on work completed. Therefore, an employee-employer relationship existed, and the university was covered by labor laws governing collective bargaining.

    Feati University
    versus
    Hon. Jose S. Bautista, Presiding Judge Of The Court Of Industrial Relations And
    Feati University Faculty Club-Paflu
    G.R. No. L-21278 December 27, 1966

    FACTS:

    The employees wrote a letter to President of Feati University informing her of the
    organization of the Faculty Club into a registered labor union.

    President of the Faculty Club sent another letter containing twenty-six demands that
    have connection with the employment of the members of the Faculty Club by the
    University, and requesting an answer within ten days from receipt thereof. The President
    of the University answered the two letters, requesting that she be given at least thirty days
    to study thoroughly the different phases of the demands.

    Meanwhile counsel for the University, to whom the demands were referred, wrote a
    letter to the President of the Faculty Club demanding proof of its majority status and
    designation as a bargaining representative.

    President of the Faculty Club filed a notice of strike with the Bureau of Labor alleging
    as reason therefore the refusal of the University to bargain collectively.

    The parties were called to conferences but efforts to conciliate them failed.

    Members of the Faculty Club declared a strike and established picket lines in the
    premises of the University, resulting in the disruption of classes in the University.
    President of the Philippines certified to the Court of Industrial Relations the dispute
    between the management of the University and the Faculty Club pursuant to the
    provisions of Section 10 of Republic Act No. 875.

    Various cases were filed with the CIR relating to the dispute.

    Feati contended that the Industrial Peace Act is not applicable to the University, it
    being an educational institution and not an industrial establishment and hence not an
    "employer" in contemplation of said Act.

    Neither does it apply to the members of the Faculty Club, they being independent
    contractors not "industrial" laborers or employees.

    ISSUE:

    Whether or not employee-employer relationship exists between the Faculty Members


    and the University

    SUPREME COURT RULING:

    Employee-employer relationship exists.


    25

    The Court stated that the University is an establishment or enterprise that is included
    in the term "industry" and is covered by the provisions of Republic Act No. 875.

    The Court takes judicial notice that a university controls the work of the members of
    its faculty; that a university prescribes the courses or subjects that professors teach, and
    when and where to teach; that the professors' work is characterized by regularity and
    continuity for a fixed duration; that professors are compensated for their services by
    wages and salaries, rather than by profits; that the professors and/or instructors cannot
    substitute others to do their work without the consent of the university; and that the
    professors can be laid off if their work is found not satisfactory. All these indicate that the
    university has control over their work; and professors are, therefore, employees and not
    independent contractors.

    The Court held that the services of employee or servant, as distinguished from those
    of a contractor, are usually characterized by regularity and continuity of work for a fixed
    period or one of indefinite duration, as contrasted with employment to do a single act or a
    series of isolated acts; by compensation on a fixed salary rather than one regulated by
    value or amount of work.
