Question II
II. When there is no recognized collective bargaining agent, can a legitimate labor organization validly declare a strike against the employer? (1%)
(a)(A) Yes, because the right to strike is guaranteed by the Constitution and cannot be denied to any group of employees.
(b)(B) No, because only an exclusive bargaining agent may declare a strike against the employer.
(c)(C) Yes, because the right to strike is a basic human right that the country's international agreements and the International Labor Organization recognize.
(d)(D) Yes, but only in case of unfair labor practice.
(e)(E) No, in the absence of a recognized bargaining agent, the workers' recourse is to file a case before the Department of Labor and Employment.
