Practice question

A legitimate union's officers say members need no seminars because an officer posted a notice announcing the next CBA meeting. They propose abandoning the labor education program and spending its fund on unrelated personal travel. Which conclusion best follows from Rule XX and Article 250(p)?
  1. A meeting notice automatically replaces the entire education program.
  2. Officers may redirect the education fund to any personal purpose.
  3. Labor education is required only after a strike.
  4. The union must implement the education duties; the mandate does not authorize unrelated personal spending.
  5. No education is needed if the officers know labor law.
