Collection of agency fees by the company from non-bargaining union members

Dear PAO,I am an assembly worker at a manufacturing company in the Philippines. A few months ago, a collective bargaining agreement was signed between the newly established union of workers and the company for the grant of salary increases and other benefits. Although I am not a member of the bargaining union, I received benefits from such CBA. As such, the company automatically deducted agency fees on my salaries and wages.

Nothing in this Code or in any other law shall stop the parties from requiring membership in a recognized collective bargaining agent as a condition for employment, except those employees who are already members of another union at the time of the signing of the collective bargaining agreement.
