Practice question
Workers independently establish an enterprise union, elect its officers, and fund it with voluntary dues. No employer interference or unfair labor practice is shown. A rival calls it a company union solely because all members work for the same company. Is that ground sufficient?
- Yes, because enterprise unions are always prohibited.
- Yes, because dues must come from an outside federation.
- No, because the employer must first dismiss an officer.
- Yes, because independent unions cannot bargain.
- No; common employment alone does not satisfy Article 219(i).
