| Third, the refusal of the respondent to be re-admitted to work is in itself indicative of the existence of strained relations between him and the petitioner. In the case of Lagniton, Sr. v. National Labor Relations Commission,[20] the Court held that the refusal of the dismissed employee to be re-admitted is constitutive of strained relations: It appears that relations between the petitioner and the complainants have been so strained that the complainants are no longer willing to be reinstated. As such reinstatement would only exacerbate the animosities that have developed between the parties, the public respondents were correct in ordering instead the grant of separation pay to the dismissed employees in the interest of industrial peace.[21] | |||||
