Practice question
A complaint concerns only the legality of a private-sector strike under the Code. No assumption, certification, voluntary-arbitration or other statutory exception applies. A party says Labor Arbiter jurisdiction is impossible because no individual wage amount exceeds P5,000. What is the correct analysis?
- Every strike case requires a P5,001 wage claim
- Strike-legality cases are a separately enumerated category and do not depend on that money threshold
- Only money claims can be heard by Labor Arbiters
- A strike vote supplies civil-court jurisdiction
- No tribunal may review strike legality
