Practice question
In negotiating the required cost article, management asserts that every CBA must place all arbitration costs on workers because arbitration principally benefits them. No source for that absolute rule is shown. Which is sound?
- The asserted formula appears expressly in Article 277.
- The Code requires a proportionate sharing scheme, not the asserted automatic all-worker formula.
- Only the employees’ home addresses determine allocation.
- A grievance automatically forfeits all worker wages.
- The employer may abolish arbitration by announcing its preference.
Legal references
- Labor Code, as amended, Articles 258 [247], 259 [248], 260 [249], 273 [260] and 277 [262-B]: https://lawphil.net/statutes/presdecs/pd1974/pd_442_1974.html
