The Order replaces the provisions on state policy towards the labour movement (s. 211(c) of the Labor Code (LS 1974 - Phi. 1A (published as s. 210(c))) and changes one of the registration requirements for labour organizations (s. 234(c) (published as s. 233(c))). It amends s. 245 on the right of employees in the public service to organize and bargain collectively and ss. 257 and 258 on representation issues in organized establishments and petitions in unorganized establishments. Sections numbered in the Order as s. 264(c) and (f) and s. 265(d) address the filing of a notice of a strike or lockout and cooling-off periods, the requirements for a decision to declare a strike or lockout, and the prohibition placed on public officials to introduce or escort replacements for strikers.
