Practice question
An employment program supports overseas and local workers but management recommends abandoning conciliation because worker protection supposedly requires permanent hostility between labor and enterprise. Worker representatives also ask the program to deny that employers can have any legitimate investment interest. Which constitutional approach should guide the program?
- Treat labor as irrelevant to national development
- Promote worker protection together with shared responsibility, voluntary dispute settlement and the constitutionally recognized interests of both sides
- Limit protection to employees who already won court judgments
- Assume conciliation is constitutionally forbidden
- Make all statutory rights optional whenever a dispute arises
