3.  Strengthen existing Tripartite Industrial Peace Councils

In line with democratic institutions and traditions, policies should encourage the strengthening and reactivation or creation of more industry tripartite councils nationwide and firm-based dispute settlement schemes that are geared toward self-regulation governed by voluntary codes of good labor-management practices. In addition, the government will adopt conciliation-mediation and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms at different levels (LGU, industry, and national); implement a less than 30-day mandatory conciliation-mediation of all labor cases under the single-entry approach; and campaign for less industry-based voluntary code of good practices.
