Practice question
A CBA supplies grievance machinery and a valid arbitrator-selection procedure but deliberately omits any allocation of arbitration costs. Does compliance with the first two requirements necessarily satisfy Article 277?
- Yes; selecting an arbitrator erases all other statutory requirements.
- Only the wage article can contain mandatory provisions.
- No CBA may mention arbitration costs.
- No; the separate cost-sharing requirement remains.
- The omitted term automatically becomes an employee loan.
