Practice question
During the life of a valid CBA, management announces unilateral deletion of a benefit and calls it bargaining because it mailed the union a notice. No agreed lawful modification exists. It also argues that expiration later allows it to abandon all terms immediately while negotiations continue. Which is best?
- The Code restricts unilateral modification during the agreement’s life and requires maintenance of the status quo during the stated period until a new agreement is reached
- A mailed notice automatically rewrites a CBA
- Expiration always erases every term immediately
- Only the union is bound by the existing agreement
- A bargaining label authorizes every unilateral change
