The National Labor Relations Commission (Filipino: Pambansang Komisyon sa Ugnayang Paggawa, abbreviated NLRC) is a quasi-judicial agency tasked to promote and maintain industrial peace based on social justice by resolving labor and management disputes involving local and overseas workers through compulsory arbitration and alternative modes of dispute resolution.

The commission dates back to the commonwealth period, when the contract labor law act was passed in the United States Congress on January 23, 1885, it was then implemented in the Philippines on June 6, 1899.

The Interim Commission took point in all matters involving employer-employee relations including all disputes and grievances.

The CIR was abolished on November 1, 1974, because of its conflicts with the provisions of the newly formed interim NLRC.

On February 28, 2011, Arbiter Jose G. de Vera who declined to issue a Writ of Partial Execution as motioned by the complainants on the grounds of accrued salaries on Reinstatement aspect of the appealed case, issued an order inhibiting himself from the case.

The case was re-raffled to Arbiter Macam and immediately, an Alias Writ of Execution was issued.
