Practice question

A CBA expressly pays one equal-value teaching group less based solely on the invalid point-of-hire classification considered in ISAE. The school relies only on the parties’ signatures and offers no reasonable service distinction. Which analysis is correct?
  1. A contractual clause remains subject to employee-protection public policy
  2. The signature makes the invalid classification unreviewable
  3. A CBA can repeal all wage protections
  4. Point of hire conclusively proves superior effort
  5. Public policy applies only outside employment
