| The subject matter of E.O. No. 185 is the grant of authority by the President to the Secretary of Labor to exercise administrative supervision over the NLRC, its regional branches and all its personnel, including the Executive Labor Arbiters and Labor Arbiters. Its impact, sans the challenge to its constitutionality, is thereby limited to the departments to which it is addressed. Taking our cue from the early case of Olsen v. Herstein and Rafferty,[18] the subject executive order can be considered as nothing more or less than a command from a superior to an inferior. It creates no relation except between the official who issued it and the officials who received it. It has for its object simply the efficient and economical administration of the affairs of the department to which it is issued in accordance with the law governing the subject matter. Administrative in its nature, the subject order does not pass beyond the limits of the departments to which it is directed, hence, it has not created any rights in third persons, not even in the fifty thousand or so union members being represented by petitioners who may or may not have pending cases before the labor arbiters or the NLRC. | |||||
