Practice question: Limitations on Management Prerogative

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A department manager is moved to a nominal assistant post with no meaningful work, loses established privileges and is told to wait indefinitely. Management invokes only its transfer power and unchanged basic pay. Which analysis follows Del Villar?
  1. Examine substantive demotion and prejudice; the label and basic-pay retention are not conclusive
  2. Every assistant title necessarily proves promotion
  3. No-work assignments can never be prejudicial
  4. Unchanged basic pay immunizes all treatment
  5. The worker has no right to question transfer motives
