An established private hospital with 420 employees has a certified bargaining representative for 3 years. The hospital issues a policy titled "Union Activities and Workplace Conduct" providing: (1) employees may not attend union meetings on hospital premises during working hours; (2) employees who attend or participate in union activities during working hours shall be suspended; (3) union-related communications on the company intranet require prior written approval from management. An employee, Dr. Lara Santos, who is a union member, attends a local union meeting during her lunch break at a nearby cafe and is suspended for two days for "misconduct." The union files an unfair labor practices complaint with NLRC. Which statement best describes the controlling doctrine and the likely legal posture of management's action under Philippine law?

The action is not an unfair labor practice if the hospital can demonstrate the policy promotes workplace efficiency; the employee’s suspension would be upheld if the conduct violated a general company rule applicable to all employees. The controlling doctrine is management prerogative; the policy is a permissible exercise to regulate operations and safety; the suspension is justified; remedies are none; standing is limited to the employee. The controlling doctrine is the workers’ right to self-organization and collective bargaining under Art. XIII, Sec. 3; LC Arts. 3 and 253; the hospital’s policy and the suspension constitute unfair labor practices; remedies include reinstatement with back pay; both the employee and the certified bargaining representative have standing to sue. The NLRC would treat the issue as a wage-related dispute rather than a labor relations matter; the remedy would be monetary compensation for lost wages without reinstatement.
