Practice question
A nightclub handbook quotes the old general prohibition on women’s night work and concludes that adult women can never lawfully work there and therefore can never receive employee protections. The worker satisfies Article 136’s classification conditions. Which correction is sound?
- The old general ban permanently controls all later statutes
- RA10151 repealed the old Articles 130–131, while the distinct classification and applicable worker protections must still be applied
- Repeal eliminated all protections for women workers
- Adult women can work only if they surrender labor rights
- The nightclub’s handbook can repeal the Labor Code
