Practice question
A company defends two managerial acts with one argument: because it owns the enterprise, no statute or CBA may limit either act. The first contradicts an express statutory protection; the second removes an agreed CBA benefit by memorandum. Which assessment is correct?
- Ownership does not remove legal or CBA limits; each act must be assessed against the obligation it contradicts
- Ownership conclusively validates both acts
- Only the statutory violation matters because CBAs never bind employers
- Only the CBA matters because statutes cannot regulate management
- The word prerogative prevents inquiry into either act
