What is the effect of an assumption and/or certification order of the Secretary of Labor?
An assumption and/or certification order of the Secretary of Labor automatically results in a return-to-work of all striking workers, whether or not a corresponding order has been issued by the Secretary of Labor. Article 264(g) is clear, once an assumption/certification order is issued, strikes are enjoined, or if one has already taken place, all strikers shall immediately return to work.
