Practice question
The appropriate DOLE official before whom a dispute is pending makes the required prima facie mass-layoff finding. The employer objects solely that no separate serious-labor-dispute finding was also made. Which is best?
- The word “or” must always be read as “and.”
- A mass layoff can never be relevant.
- Only a final criminal judgment can matter.
- The objection incorrectly treats the alternative statutory circumstances as cumulative.
- The employer may delete the statutory alternative.
