Practice question
A CBA has a five-year representation term. At the end of its third year, an employer refuses to renegotiate any other provision, including wages and grievance terms, solely because representation lasts five years. Is that reason correct?
- Yes; every CBA term is frozen for five years.
- No; Article 265 separately requires all other provisions to be renegotiated not later than three years after execution.
- Yes; only economic terms can ever be renegotiated.
- Yes; grievance provisions cannot be discussed.
- No; because representation necessarily expires after three years.
