Practice question
Management adopts an operational measure expressly permitted by a valid agreement, consistent with statute and implemented fairly. A worker argues that any managerial decision is unlawful simply because employees dislike it. Which is best?
- Employee dislike automatically invalidates every decision
- Management has no recognized discretion
- All operational changes require a new statute
- Dislike alone does not establish illegality; recognized prerogative remains exercisable within legal, contractual and fairness limits
- The employer may therefore ignore all future limits
