Practice question

An employer deducts union dues under a CBA but withholds remittance, and the union alleges interference constituting employer unfair labor practice. Is the claim necessarily an intra-union dispute merely because dues are involved?
  1. No; SCIPSI identifies the employer ULP controversy as one for the Labor Arbiter rather than a Med-Arbiter’s intra-union jurisdiction
  2. Yes, every dues case belongs only to the Med-Arbiter
  3. Yes, the employer becomes a union member through deduction
  4. Yes, a CBA can erase statutory jurisdiction
  5. No tribunal can address withheld deductions
