Practice question
A CBA’s economic provisions are reopened at the third year of its five-year representation term. A rival union says that reopening alone automatically begins the representation freedom period two years early. Which is correct?
- The economic reopening and representation term are distinct; the ordinary freedom period remains tied to expiry of the five-year representation term
- Every wage discussion immediately ends representation stability
- Three-year economic renegotiation always replaces the five-year term
- Only management may determine the freedom period
- A rival may ignore all timing rules
