Practice question

A legitimate labor organization refuses to conduct any labor education because it has no CBA yet. Is the lack of a CBA alone a valid excuse?
  1. Yes; the duty starts only after the first CBA.
  2. Yes; only federations educate members.
  3. No; every legitimate labor organization has the education duty, and subjects include labor laws and members' rights beyond a CBA.
  4. Yes; education is optional for registered unions.
  5. No; because every union must immediately sign a CBA.
