Practice question
A newly registered legitimate union has no trained in-house lecturer. A labor education institution offers to cooperate in seminars on labor laws and workplace rules. The union's board rejects the offer and cancels all education, claiming that only an independently delivered union seminar is lawful. It also says no education fund is needed while seminars are cancelled. Which answer is correct?
- Cooperation is permitted, and the union must perform its education duties and maintain the required special fund.
- Only union officers may ever teach members.
- Lack of an in-house lecturer permanently suspends the duties.
- Cancelling seminars lawfully eliminates the fund requirement.
- The employer must replace the union as the organization's governing body.
