Practice question
A judgment imposes a CBA for years one through five. No successor is concluded. Workers say hold-over automatically authorizes expanding that same writ to years six through eight; management says all later substantive rights necessarily vanish. Which is best?
- Neither follows: preserve the writ’s bounds while resolving later-period claims through the appropriate grievance and arbitration route.
- Hold-over automatically rewrites every final judgment.
- Execution limits necessarily extinguish all later rights.
- Only management may conclusively compute every later entitlement.
- No dispute process exists after year five.
