Dear PAO,

I am an assembly worker at a manufacturing company in the Philippines. A few months ago, a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) 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. May I know if such salary deduction is valid even without my written authorization?
