Practice question
A company continuously needs ordinary dispatch workers. It makes each sign identical short contracts and openly states that repeated expiry dates prevent them from obtaining security of tenure. The employees have no meaningful bargaining power. The company invokes Brent as blanket approval of all fixed periods. Which is correct?
- Brent validates all imposed periods without inquiry
- Every signature conclusively proves bargaining equality
- The plan is lawful solely because periods are short
- A label can override all statutory protections
- The apparent tenure-evasion scheme defeats the claimed blanket reliance on Brent
