Practice question
A prior ruling rejected a charge that benefits were withdrawn in an early period. Employer argues this conclusively proves payment of every later increased CBA benefit throughout a longer adjudged term. Which is best?
- Rejection of one charge is a universal receipt for every future benefit.
- The different periods and actual payment obligations must be examined; the early finding alone does not prove all later payments.
- All economic terms become optional.
- No payroll evidence may be considered.
- A noneconomic clause automatically cancels monetary duties.
