Practice question
An application under Article 292(b) meets its stated predicates. Management objects solely that the business has not been declared indispensable to national interest. Which is sound?
- Every DOLE power has exactly the same national-interest condition.
- Only nationally indispensable businesses have employees.
- The Secretary has no statutory termination-suspension power.
- The employee must first organize a nationwide strike.
- That objection imports the distinct Article 278(g) condition into a different statutory mechanism.
