May non-lawyers appear before the NLRC or Labor Arbiter? May they charge attorney’s fee for such appearance provided it is charged against union funds and in an amount freely agreed upon by the parties? Discuss fully.

Yes. Non-lawyers may appear before the NLRC or Labor Arbiter in the following instances:
1. If they represent themselves;
2. If they represent their organization or members thereof.
Since they are not lawyers, they may not charge attorney’s fees for such appearance.
