Practice question
A claimant seeks only statutory social-security benefits and separately challenges the validity of a union election. An official requires both to undergo mandatory SEnA solely because they relate broadly to work. What is the error under Rule II?
- The rule expressly excepts social-security and welfare claims and inter- or intra-union issues
- Every work-related issue is mandatory SEnA without exception
- Only the official’s preferred label matters
- SEnA automatically replaces social-insurance and union adjudication
- Both claims must be settled by one final SEADO award
