Question A: Right to Self-Organization - Doctrine of Necessary Implication (Confidential Employees)

Scenario:

XYZ Corporation is a large manufacturing company with hundreds of employees. The majority of its workforce belongs to a labor union called the XYZ Workers Union (XYZWU), which is recognized and certified by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). The XYZWU has been actively representing the interests of the rank-and-file employees in collective bargaining negotiations.

Within the company, there is a group of employees known as the "Confidential Employees" who have access to highly sensitive and confidential information, such as trade secrets, financial records, and customer data. They perform tasks that directly assist and support the top management in making crucial business decisions.

The XYZWU recently filed a petition to include the Confidential Employees in its union membership, arguing that the Doctrine of Necessary Implication should apply. The management of the XYZ Corporation opposed this move, asserting that the Confidential Employees should not participate in the union and citing their unique role and responsibilities within the organization.

As an aspiring labor lawyer, you are tasked to address the following:

Discuss the concept of "Right to Self-Organization" under Philippine labor laws.
Explain the Doctrine of Necessary Implication and its application to collective bargaining units.
Analyze the validity of the XYZWU's petition to include the Confidential Employees in its union membership.
