Practice question
Two employees each seek P4,000 in qualifying wage claims, without reinstatement. The Regional Director rejects Article129 jurisdiction solely because their combined claims total P8,000. Is that reason correct?
- Yes; all employees' claims must be pooled into one ceiling.
- No; Article129 applies its aggregate ceiling to each employee.
- Yes; more than one employee can never complain.
- Yes; the provision covers only union officers.
- No; because every wage claim has unlimited Article129 jurisdiction.
