Practice question
A group of civil-service employees asserts that because it may organize, it may necessarily stop public service and claim the same unrestricted strike right it attributes to private workers. No statute authorizes the stoppage. Under SSS Employees Association, which is correct?
- Self-organization does not by itself establish the asserted governmental strike right
- The word organize necessarily authorizes every public-service stoppage
- Any union resolution repeals governing public-sector rules
- Private and public frameworks are automatically identical in every respect
- Public employees possess no organization right at all
