Practice question
A valid CBA unconditionally grants an employment-related bonus. The employer later adds a requirement of positive profits that is absent from the agreement. No separate legal ground for discharge is established. What is the proper analysis?
- A company may always insert any new condition after signing.
- A CBA cannot govern a bonus.
- Every benefit depends on profits even if the contract says otherwise.
- Only the employer's later interpretation matters.
- The employer cannot unilaterally insert the missing profit condition into the binding bonus undertaking.
